I am a musician and new media artist who uses sound and performance as the primary modalities within my practice. I performs regularly around the country and was featured at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 2004. My duet, Ostracon, performed at the In/Out Festival in New York, September, 2010. I composed and performed the music for the Northern Spark 2012 production In Habit: Living Patterns in collaboration with the dance company Aniccha Arts. My installations have been shown at galleries in Minneapolis including a collaborative piece with Piotr Szyhalski titled Post-prepared Piano at the Burnet Gallery in 2013. My piece Voice Lessons (2012), a touchscreen, audiovisual installation, was featured on Wired.com. I currently reside in Minneapolis where I work as an instructor of audio production and interactive media. In my work I am exploring the idea of mutable, audiovisual scores for improvised musical performances and installations. An audiovisual score can be a useful tool to connect improvising musicians to each other and their audience through the insertion of a mediating audiovisual layer. These systems are used as a primary influential agent for an ensemble of improvisers, providing them with context for a musical conversation. In contrast to traditional notation and graphic scores, audiovisual scores embrace the chaotic ambiguities of environmental influences giving the music the context of unpredictable everyday events. Presenting an unpredictable audiovisual score parallels the indeterminate improvisation of the ensemble. It activates the last vestige of what remains immutable within traditional forms of notation driven performance transforming it into a mutable layer within the work. Join the Facebook Event.
