Artist Statement

#time #rhythm #tones #space are the relevant core concepts of my artistic investigation. It is an interdisciplinary research project that ultimately finds a correlation between time and sounds.
Time obviously flows in one direction, but also in time the repetition of the time module happens all the time. If the direction of time is shown as a line, the movement of the repetition cycle could be plotted as a circle.
The interesting thing is that this circular cycle can be found in music theory again: The so-called 'circle of fifths'.
What the sun and moon give us is not only the light of day and night, but also sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset. These four points in time can be converted into certain tones using the circle of fifths. Since the combination of these four moments is new every day, it also sounds different every day.
Time flows, time is audible.
For me, the change of the seasons is not just the regular circulation of nature, but rather an atmospheric gradient. The change of the seasons means a changing of the color spaces.
Time flows, time is visible.
