“I am a composer and sound artist who works with acoustic and electronic instruments as well as video and other media. My work involves the abstraction and reconfiguration of bodily gestures and politically charged or otherwise culturally resonant sonic media. I use the tools of production (microphones and loudspeakers, audio and video processors, musical instruments, objects, and spaces) to render the familiar unfamiliar and to create unique performance experiences through/with sound. Current projects include Partial Knowledge (an upcoming chamber music album), Nagleria Fowleri (audio-video poem cycle based on texts by Rimona Afana), and Fake Radiolab (absurd “anti-podcast”/live electronic performance duo with Akiva Zamcheck). I teach composition and electronic music at Emory University in Atlanta.”
