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!

Chicago MC Rota has been carving out his own niche in hip hop and spoken word through his distinctive blend of word play, humor, and introspection. A truly unique voice, Button Poetry describes his work as "one of a kind" and RapReviews.com writes, "If you're looking for the latest hip-hop to blow out of the Windy City (Chicago, that is), then [Rota's] record is the answer. The Nocturnals, composed of the dirty deep-voiced MC 'rota and abstract producer Lucca, bring you the hip-hop feel of the city that is certainly authentic." You can't miss him. He's the tallest Jew for miles.
