I am a musician and I focus on early music.
I play baroque violin and also instruments of the violin family in different sizes.
My interest in early music is particularly in Historically Informed Performance Practice (HIP) and historical instruments.
As part of my organological research on violin bows, I build renaissance and early baroque bow models. I also produce and sell mutes and accessories for stringed instruments.
And I also build my own media and create contents.

My starting point for making objects was a question I had about bows.
When I wondered what materials old bows were made of, what shape they were, and what kind of sound they made, I decided to make my own bow in order to find my own answers.
But the goal is not to know the answers.
I want to share new experiences with the people who pick up my bows and explore further possibilities.
This will also give me the impetus for new creative activities.
And I am interested in the world I will see beyond that.
