After spending a period of time researching sound elements through the exhibition hall Cartografies, Sons Secundaris, Radiofonies, Ocupacions Sonores and Sound and me at the Santa Mònica Centre of Art (Barcelona) and Casino Lights at Sala Rekalde (Bilbao), his discourse is currently reflected in projects such as Euforia.
