Original Live Music for Contemporary Spaces
Disparition is known for creating immersive sound worlds that blur the lines between live performance, installation, and score. His music—ranging from minimalist ambient to melodic, structured compositions—is crafted to respond to the texture, pacing, and emotional tone of visual art environments.
Available as a solo performance or in collaboration with additional musicians, Disparition’s live sets are uniquely suited for exhibition openings, late-night programming, artist talks, or site-specific installations.
Performance Offerings

Tailored live music that accompanies the rhythm of an opening—textural, melodic, or hybrid in nature. Can be ambient and atmospheric, or take on more dynamic musical form.
Collaborative Performances & Ensemble Work
Disparition can assemble a small ensemble of musicians (e.g., synth, strings, mandolin, electronics) to develop custom scores or perform extended works that interact with the exhibition or gallery space.
