World New Music Days 2025, hosted by Miso Music Portugal! I had the immense pleasure and honour of being the technical and sound engineer for the Cinema of the Ears, the Piano Marathon and the Sond'Ar-te Electric Ensemble. What a marvellous adventure it was. Finally I got to diffuse Useless Box of Panayoitis Kokoras and diffuse my own piece, Neurotransmits, an individual submission to the festival that was selected by an international jury. What an honour to be amongst some of my favourite composers!
