Impossible Scores
Working with sound frequencies begins by discovering the connections between emotion, music or sound, vibration, and color; all united in synergy to make the invisibility of sound visible through my sound art project.
Sound art involves the use of sound to raise questions about its application in other artistic fields, expanding its conception toward new media and supports, and drawing on philosophy and metaphor for the transformation of the work.
Music, textiles, light, color, vibration, healing, meditation, form, and concept: everything is part of each artwork.

HERE / HEAR: Where Do Listening and Presence Converge?
In this project, JAT explores the semantic and perceptual intersection between here and hear, proposing a reflection on attention, presence, and the sonic experience of space. Sound ceases to be solely an auditory stimulus and becomes a condition of being—of inhabiting a specific place and time.
HERE / HEAR investigates how active listening transforms our relationship with the environment. Sound manifests as an invisible layer that constructs atmospheres, activates memory, and generates emotional connections with space. Through this research, JAT proposes an expanded form of listening, in which the visual, typographic, and spatial operate as extensions of the sonic phenomenon.
This project is part of his ongoing sound art research, advancing toward an understanding of sound as presence, as gesture, and as trace. HERE / HEAR opens a field of reflection on awareness, perception, and the ways in which sound situates us—both physically and emotionally—within the world.
