Ø consists of a durational sound performance that uses electronic guitar and pedals as medium for emphasizing acoustic properties of the museum space.

Commissioned by Casa da Cultura do Parque (Sao Paulo-BR) in 2022, re_plica vocalis is a video that explores different ways of representing the human voice. Whether in the context of religious prayer or scientific study, the work uses sounds, texts, and images to animate a digital vocal cord. The sound composition invites the viewer to follow the changes of a choir in constant becoming while, synthesized by artificial intelligence and saturated colors; the video presents itself as a reference to medical examinations, such as endoscopy or "indirect laryngoscopy".

Commissioned by the Spaceship Ensemble and the Gaudeamus Festival in 2022, this short composition written for extended piano, harp, accordion, harpsichord, viola, marimba and clarinete is a work inspired by Gerard 't Hooft's futuristic animals. Trying to mimic the molecular structure of plastic being dissolved by the Plasticophagus Edulis, this composition is an experiment on fast rhythmic patterns and contrasting cut-up gestures and long sonic resonances.
