Anatomical Venus (2017) is an oldie but goodie! This piece was my first official commission ever and the first piece I got my first NY premiere. I'm so ever grateful to Thea and Leia for thinking of me. This piece is an oldie but goodie, and I'm glad I finally got a decent recording of this piece. My last acoustic work for now!

Let It Burn

What might seem like a minimal setup—a mic’d thunder tube, EH Canyon Pedal, Korg Minilogue, and Ableton—feels absolutely limitless when I’m working with it.

Thank you so much for the invite, @ianpoweromg! It was an amazing experience and a pleasure to share the evening with you and the fantastic @ledahfinck and her evocative Hardanger fiddle.
