The theoretical framework of my study lies in the exegesis as it is used to discuss and explicate past and current trends of my key research areas and to bring forward my own work and concepts. The website embodies my work which is represented with live video performances, video demonstrations of physical expression, pictorial documentation of the extend drumset and scores of all compositional works.
