This collection brings together fifteen years of notes, essays, and compositions from a working life in experimental music. Originally intended as academic research, it became a personal project driven by curiosity rather than credentials. The texts explore music-making across tools and formats: from live electronics and noise, to systems-based composition, orchestration, arrangement, practice and performance. A record of ideas, questions, and aesthetics. A document for the future.
