  Sound enthusiast and self-proclaimed *sonoplástica, fiercely looking to interpret the world through the exercise of listening. Through many different disciplines (more recently, performance ad writing), I try to approach and treat Sound as an entity - being constantly thrilled by it. Giving it value as an element that represents spaces; cultures; societies; I invite myself to perceive the world and human life through other perspectives, in a non-stoping investigation.
