In what way can loudspeaker technology enhance an acoustic instrument? Which new abilities can loudspeaker technology give the instrument? Can the instrument enhance the loudspeaker in any way? These are central questions I try to answer with my research project. By developing a flexible, augmented instrument enhancement (FLAPIBox), I create a platform for exploring the mutual interaction between technology and instrument. 

The electronic sound is amplified by the instrument's resonance, the instrument's sound is modified through the computer and sent back into the instrument. A new instrument comes into being. An enhanced instrument.

Through compositions for a variety of acoustic instruments, solo and in ensembles, I investigate the potential of this alternative way of diffusing acoustic and electronic sound.
