These samples were captured on my Zoom recorder today, using only the things around my house. I tried to incorporate sounds from the things that have been a part of my daily life in isolation; planting seeds, watering plants, closing doors, sanitizing things, making medicinal tinctures from Astragalus and Chaga, cutting my own hair and sewing masks. These drum samples are all sounds from activities I've just mentioned. Some of them have been pitched up or down inside of ableton.

Doctoral Fellow in Music Education at NYU; adjunct professor of music technology and music education at Montclair State University

synths • samples • trackers • guitar • computers • bells • whistles • lotsa heart

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
