Sound artist, media artist and composer for both humans and computers. So much banjo, too
Packing gear for an upcoming project with Tim Feeney and students at CalArts.
Even though this looks like the start of a frivolous summer camp craft project, I expect it will result in some truly amazing sounds by week’s end!
Many thanks to Nameless Sound, Dave Dove, Thomas Helton, Anthony and Lawndale Arts Center for a great They, Who Sound show in Houston on Monday night! Here’s a guitar-driven drawing created during my set.
I wrote code in Processing to produce these images. Each note I play on the guitar spawns a particle which a traverses the space of the drawing, interacting with virtual gravitational fields.
So happy to be returning to Houston, TX on Monday night. I’ll be playing a solo set with video and an improvised set with bassist, Thomas Helton. Helton will also play a solo set. The concert is part of the They, Who Sound series presented by Nameless Sound and Lawndale.

It’s been almost 10 years since I’ve played in Houston. The last time was on another They, Who Sound event in September 2012(!). And it’s been at least that long since I played with Thomas, so this duo performance is long overdue. In fact, the last time I played with Thomas, I was performing on soprano sax–that’s how long it’s been.

I had a great visit recently to Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, for the Studio 300 Digital Art and Music Festival.
I performed my piece Crow Chases Red-tailed Hawk for custom aerophones and live electronics. And my sculpture A Work of Art for Every Entry in Index—Subjects—Library of Congress was included in the exhibition.
There were interesting Artist Talks by Chad Eby and Hunter Ewen, more concerts and exhibits, and fun AR soundwalk on campus. Kudos to Tim Polashek and his team for putting it all together.
