Developed during the Culterim Residency in Biesenthal, Tuning Room is a series of large-scale graphic scores and compositions that investigate sound, listening, and resistance.
The work includes Tuning Forks (Laser Engraving on Aluminium, 100 × 70 cm), which detunes from dominant frequencies (432Hz, 440Hz, 528Hz) to embrace resonance as a method of resistance. These scores respond to the appropriation of tuning systems by fascist and esoteric ideologies, challenging narratives of “purity” and “natural order” within sound.
Alongside, Solidarity Instruments (paper-based sound objects) and Solidarity Listening Scores (Digital Print on Paper,
100 × 70 cm) invite collective participation. Through social listening and graphic sound scoring, they explore how sound can foster solidarity, care, and healing amid the overlapping crises of rising fascism, state violence, genocide, and ecological collapse. Together, these works transform listening into a shared practice of resistance and connection.
