thenheturnedaround is an interdisciplinary sonic artist
based in tiohtià:ke/montréal
His work explores the intersections of popular music and avant-garde/experimental performance by working across sound, prose and visual media, the experimentation central to these works often being inspired by transient elements at the root of loneliness, hope and fleeting human connection. These explorations are further contextualized within the digital realm, the Jewish diasporic experience and post-capitalist ideals.
“you look just like someone i knew in a past life”
A sonic exploration of loneliness, self-worth, and meaningful connections in the digital age.
Incorporating poetry and both maximalist & minimalist production, “you look just like someone i knew in a past life” is an experimental effort to bridge pop music with both electroacoustic and acoustic composition.
