I am both pleased and proud to have been selected to present a Research Performance at EPARM 2026 (European Platform for Artistic Research in Music), taking place at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo, 9–11 April 2026.
The project Architecture as Instrument has been selected into the official programme as a performance presentation, in which I explore how architecture can function as a sound source and resonant body at the intersection of music, architecture, and materiality.
The selection represents an important recognition of the project, and I am also very grateful for the positive reception Architecture as Instrument has received through performances across Europe and through the LP release Fehn. EPARM 2026 marks a new step in the continued development of the project.
