Music House
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.

Where Does Music Live? The Traces Music Leaves in Memory
Through the dismantling of domestic sound equipment, JAT develops an investigation that asks where music truly resides. The initial gesture involves taking apart a classic 1990s mini hi-fi system in order to understand the physical and symbolic mechanisms that enable sound reproduction in everyday spaces. This act reveals both the internal architecture of the device and its affective dimension, linked to memory and the experience of listening.
From this process emerge works built from the extracted components. Once stripped of their original function, these fragments are transformed into visual and typographic structures that evoke words, rhythms, and ways of inhabiting sound. The research raises a central question: if music lives within the devices that reproduce it, what traces remain in their parts when the sound disappears?
The reflection expands into the urban space, understood as a network of sonic layers and auditory memories. Here, music materializes as atmosphere and structure, composing a city built from the audible. In this body of work, sound shifts from object to space and from space to memory, articulating an investigation in which technology, language, and affect converge to consider how music leaves lasting marks on the places we inhabit.
