With Cecilia Vicuña
With poet and artist Cecilia Vicuña I have had the joy a privilege to collaborate on a variety of projects such as installations, sound recordings, live performances, short videos and chamber music. More projects are currently in the works.
Piano QUI-Poem
Our collaboration started as a series of improvised duos of piano and voice in 2016 and since then we have done performances and recordings that have been the seeds for works in other media.
