(II)nTolerance
Kohlhaas
CD
A sequel and a response to "InTolerance". It is a personal reaction to the global pandemic and its wide-reaching effects through suffering, fear, misinformation as much as confinement and curfews. Staged and chance activities. Meticulous constructions. Static scenes. Abandoned sites. Interrupted signals. Severed connections. Energy transmitted, translated, received. Locations were revisited retrospectively, introspectively, their whereabouts unimportant.

Cassette
Composed from the development of Double Deck during the residency at Atelier Expérimental, Clans, France. A mechanism for playing two cassettes was reversed, adapted, prepared and then activated by collected sounds of water in the village.
