“I am because you are“ is a field recording and live electronics audio project conceived during the SUNHOO Park Artistic Residence –Hang Zhou- China (August 2012).
The project has drawn two different paths:
• Recording the field sound in the land to explore and investigate the acoustic identity
• Recreating a music performance using a live sound of the environment and editing it in real time
These works are supported by video documentation.

This same process took place in Ethiopia (February 2013) and will take place also in Iceland (April 2013).

In the course of those trips he has been able to count on the collaboration of major figures of the...
