Residency project:
Heritage and Meaning; A Metaphorically Musical Creation through the Implementation of Musical Signs as the vehicles of Meanings
This project proposes a metaphorically musical creation implementing melodic and rhythmic figures as metaphors signifying meanings and senses and/or causing affections and emotions.

Afterwards, based on the instructions and the purposed story or meanings; the music could be composed in jam sessions with musicians from other genres; or it can be composed by me by and then be discussed with other artists about the senses and images they create through common imagination and successively be visualized in simple video arts.”
