9-channel sound sculpture — conceptually fluid
or a sound system that playfully speculates the possibility of a loudspeaker to function simultaneously as an acoustic diffuser panel. A positive Brusselization has formed its shape through the influence of city’s skyline, unconstrained architecture and flexible moving bodies. The loudspeakers as sculptures express the potential of dance and bodily listening as a collective leisure activity.
….or a sonic piece that narrates a story of an imaginary electronic music composer amigoismyfriend, whose newest album is previewed by imaginary radio DJ. The songs are inspired by the city and mediated in broken French allowing the original meaning of lyrics to distort into vocal expressions that might convey misunderstandings.
…or a platform for sonic art practitioners, performers and bodily listeners. Mobile in its nature. Ready and willing to serve.
...or a tool for creating yet another unclearly defined upcoming sonic piece in the near future.

Smell of barnyards, camel aromas, disposable no-time, and a dip-coated iForgot, sealed beneath a z-membrane. Rocky road styled teeth. An eroteme mosaic. Ancient anxiety.

Despite working from 9 to 5 as a dentist in Upper Silesia region, Poland, Plato V. spends most of the time exploring the relationship between a performer, an instrument and surroundings. Inspired mostly by biological processes taking place on Earth and by natural phenomena occurring in remote corners of universe. He intends to create musical situations that go beyond what is visible, venturing to the edges and crevices of reality.
