reflection

When I first participated in a radio production, I chose music as my main medium. I became interested in generating music through coding—using programming-like inputs to shape sound—which led me to start learning Strudel.
The process has been challenging. Creating compelling music still requires an understanding of music theory and sound structure, which made me realize that technology is only part of the practice.
I am still exploring—learning new tools while developing my sense of musical language. I hope to find a more natural connection between coding and sound, and expand my creative approach.

Exhibition:The-Calm-Machine

Welcome to the Calm Machine. Please sit down, relax for a moment. You have moved through the hall and made it here. This a space to ground yourself—without rushing, without judging. Reflect on the things you have observed. What sensations did you experience on your way? Did something feel strangely familiar? Did you notice something that sparked inspiration in you? What did your hands want to touch? Listen to your body, your thoughts, and your surroundings. The Inner Machine Please take a 'key', open it and have a seat. You have entered the inner part of the machine, where you can touch, listen, and heighten your sensory perception. Feel the most tender and intimate part of the machine. The Outer Machine You have been here for a while now. Did you gather some fresh energy? If you feel like it, we would like to take you on a walk and thereby make you write a story. Breathe in some fresh air and feel the Rotterdam autumn winds on your face. Grab a pen and one of the walking cards. Just follow the instructions to start your journey! When you are done, please come back here to scan your results. The Calm Machine

Reflection

Having just arrived at a new school and entered a new phase of life, I am still trying to find my rhythm both in learning and in daily living. I find myself missing the comfort of my previous environment, and I am searching for a sense of balance. This is also why I created this work. Starting from my own feelings and perspective, I hope the audience can find a sense of resonance. I created a “cozy place” where people can rest, reflect, and explore their inner world.
