As Silent As Bombs experiments with kinaesthetic approaches to sound and is structured through data-driven visual frameworks. The data-based composition addresses military violations and sonic fear within contemporary geopolitical tensions involving China, Taiwan, Ukraine, Russia and the United States.

The piece translates visualised datasets – including the frequency of Chinese military provocations in Taiwanese airspace, military expenditure and fossil fuel consumption per capita – into sound to interrogate collective narratives, power relations and shared histories.

As Silent As Bombs was created in 2022 – 24 and was previously presented at Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival, Tegnetriennalen and Oslo Negativ.
