The dark: the recent passing of friend Paul Schreiber, owner of Synthesis Technology. Along with fellow rocket scientists Eric Brombaugh and Robert Rich, he engineered the E370 Quad Morphing VCO which I use everyday. He was a true genius, a snarky story-teller, a good hearted guy. I felt honored just to know him, occasionally helping with some demos and testing on various modules.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

One of the themes of my work is “memory.”
Recorded sounds are also memories, and at times these memories become complex, fragmented, and scattered. The intention behind works centered on the theme of memory is to reconnect and reconstruct scattered fragments of memory to create new memories.
This work, “Frozen Memories,” uses sound materials whose origin and recording date are unknown to me. These sound materials were first edited into a completed work, which was then further processed and edited to the point where it no longer resembles its original form, resulting in a new work.
In a sense, this can be described as a chain of memories.
