Sound artist, media artist and composer for both humans and computers. So much banjo, too
Fiddler Esther Morgan-Ellis and I have been working on a set of original banjo and fiddle tunes. We’ll be playing them out in public beginning in May 2024. We’ll also record the collection for future release.
Get a jump start on the shows by visiting Esther’s website to hear some sample tunes.
The University of Alabama Art and Art History Department will present Hank Lazer and me in a poetry and music performance along with a screening of our latest collaborative video Brush Mind: Begin To.

Brush Mind: Begin To – Hank Lazer and Holland Hopson
Sarah Moody Gallery of Art
Tuscaloosa AL
part of the 2024 Biennial Faculty Exhibit
Hank and I have collaborated over the last four years on a variety of projects including three installments of the Brush Mind series, the book with accompanying album field recordings of mind in morning, and recent performances at the New Orleans Poetry Festival and Blue Ridge Arts Center.
I’ve posted info about 3D printed wood blocks or temple blocks to the Digitally Fabricated Instruments section of my site. This represents my first experiments with digitally fabricated instruments and parametric design.
Follow the link above for .stl files to print your own instruments. You can also find OpenSCAD .scad files so you can customize the design to your needs.
Update: I have to cancel my set for this show. The concert will go on as scheduled without me, so please support Adam and Taylor and the other artists! I hope to play another Exprov event soon.
Tomorrow! Happy to join Adam Arritola and Taylor Rouss for the latest installment of the Exprov series at East Village Arts.

Here’s a lovely performance of my piece A Long Line of Clouds Just Above the Trees for violin duo and live electronic. The piece was played by Miolina: Lynn Bechtold and Mioi Takeda, violins, at their recent concert at The Skyscraper Museum in New York.
See more Miolina videos–including other works from the same concert–on their channel on YouTube.
