Music can reach humans directly and trigger powerful emotions. I am exploring new possibilities for music transmission in the interdisciplinary environment of KreativInstitut.OWL. I am especially interested in how added aesthetic value can be created in new immersive formats and in concert with images, AR, XR, or VR. The technical means should never be used as an end in themselves, but must serve to achieve the artistic vision.
