Synthesis & Compositions

An Autumnal field recording meant to capture the falling leaves on the large maple in our backyard ... caught my wife and dog having a conversation.

Visualizer Version

This Is A Good Day (Would It Get Some Wind For The Sailboat Edit)

Four mono modular synthesis tracks recorded in real time to stereo mix.

5046: Robotic Inauguration (Pompous Circumstances Mix)

More fun with the Thonk/Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb

On the Hour

Fugee La, La, La (If on a Winter's Night Approach)

Megatherium

Jean Michel Jarre's work with voices on the Zoolook release left a huge impression on me. Here's a simple homage using a short vocal sample from a Make Noise Phonogene as a pseudo baseline.

Zoolooking

Live 2.5 part invention played with Make Noise Pressure Points and René touch sequencers.

Shamabatacidic Lune (The Orange Sunshine Mountain Vision Version)

No sequencing used. Played live by hand (warts and all) using René's touch plates.

Improvisation Pour Un Numéro De Nuit De Milou Deux

Working out with the stock patch shipped on the Make Noise Phonogene.

"It's Gonna' Snownogene."

The first of many planned meetings between my Clavia Nord Modular 1 (hello sinus chords!) and my eurorack modular. Creating polyphonic chords on hardware modulars is tricky and expensive.

Hybrid Phase (Supermoon Declination Report)

The White Cat Wears Argyle

A harmonic study for 10% pulse width square wave & 18dB resonant filter.

Harmonic Study For 10% Square Wave & 18dB Resonant Filter

A shapeshifting contemplation of care-giving.

Guadalupe (Vogue)

My first patch with every control point of the QMMG patched.

Your Bones (Tri-Sinus Bolero)

My first attempt with something like ratcheting by utilising multiple synced clock sources and a voltage controlled switch to distribute them.

The seemingly limitless manifestations that are observed during improvisational performance of electronic audiovisual materials drive me to seek collaborative interactions between compositional systems, machines, and myself. In holding space to facilitate an emergence of indeterminate phenomenon through analog synthesis, feedback systems, and field recordings, I share elements from multiple sources to celebrate shapes, patterns, and spaces.
​
I hold BAs in Art and English from Andrews University, and am currently enrolled in the Electronic Integrated Arts MFA at Alfred University. I was an artist in residency in 2017 at Signal Culture in Owego New York and in 2015 at Sachaqa Centro De ARTE, San Roque Peru. My visual works, and live electronic improvisational performances, have been featured across Peru, at The MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, and throughout the Midwest of America.
 
Note: Much of the work here is subtle in nature and I encourage you to listen via headphones or using a decent system whenever possible. Most computer speakers will not reveal the tracks fully.  Unless otherwise noted in the track description, everything is recorded direct to stereo track live and on the fly with no overdubs. Thanks for stopping by and listening!
