The har­mon­i­ca is seen both as a toy and as a very expres­sive musi­cal instru­ment, depend­ing who you are ask­ing. Its inex­pen­sive­ness and egal­i­tar­i­an aura is opposed to the rich chords it pro­duces and its sub­tle micro­ton­al and melis­mat­ic impro­vi­sa­tion pos­si­bil­i­ties. Since 2020 I have been making pieces for cus­tom-tuned, dia­ton­ic harmonicas both as solos but also in collaboration with other musicians and Ensembles. 

A gigantic blowing machine or a pocket tin sandwich (2021), for 5  re-tuned harmonicas and megaphones, commissioned by Ictus Ensemble
