“Augmented Make-up” is a tool that amplifies and manipulates sounds that are provoked by the application of make-up on skin. In its tool set, there are five different brushes and puffs customized with special microphones to capture the subtle noises of face embellishment. Each make-up tool has a different behavior for sound making. Augmented Make-up is applied individually in private sessions and can only be heard by the perfomer and the subject as a therapy session.

The sound installation “Submersed Songs” promotes interference of four carp fish in songs and sounds brought by the audience in iPods, celphones, voice recorders and others. The movements of the animals can change properties of the audio such as distortion and space and also juxtapose different tracks. In this installation, the movements of the fish and the indeterminate musical choice of the audience are a way to provoke and appreciate sound randomness and chance.
