I am soundtracking the Anthropocene.

This endeavor in synthetic sound design has been my homage to Arthur C. Clarke's lost-then-found spacefarer, 'Frank Poole.' Pervasive and ubiquitous technologies now threaten to dispose of the biosphere—just as HAL 9000 disposed of Frank Poole.

The distance which now separates each person from the next is as timeless and frigid as the vast abyss of space itself. Perhaps this merits contemplation of the origins of our predicament and the ontology which accepts this novel cultural norm as natural.

My anthropological inquiries tend toward the meta-ontological, pursuing the relationship between models of reality and human cultural activity.

"Presence has an inverse relationship to language; it is most apparent when people are silent."
- John Zerzan

"For monkeys to speak of truth is hubris of the highest degree. Where is it writ large that talking-monkeys should be able to model the cosmos? If a sea urchin or a racoon were to propose to you that it had a viable truth about the universe, the absurdity of that assertion would be self-evident, but in our case we make an exception."
- Terence McKenna

"A universe purged of all threat of meaning, in a state of asepsis and weightlessness - it is this very perfection that is fascinating... we are dumbfounded by the perfection of the programming and the technical manipulation... Vertigo of the model, which unites with the model of death, but without fear or drive."
- Jean Baudrillard

"Bacteria don't respect political dogma any more than they recognize political boundaries and jurisdictions."

"...perhaps our efforts have peaked, and the fruits of discovery have left their seeds, indigestible and toxic."

- Dr. Martin J. Blaser

I play with modular synths, software, guitars, Chapman Stick, erhu, bamboo flute, electric kazoo...
No, really. I have an electric kazoo.
