i came up with the idea of calling things normal surround while staring at a hi-fi system during a film studies class a couple of years ago. it was adjusted to "normal surround". i started writing down this word combination (although knowing more about surround, than about normal), played around with it in my head, opened an email address with this name and realized that it's the name i am going to put my works under. it starts with normal and ends with surround - a circle in a square or just a straight line - normal surround is how i see, feel and reflect things, shapes, colors, sounds and everything around. always in process of discovering and staying excited about things. i take pictures, make keyframe animation, work with vector graphics and love to combine different medias. in search of here and there, the crossing point between digital and analogue, between the silence and the first note i hit on the piano, is a topic i want to explore.
