"Synapse" Violin & Electronics Improv

I am composer, improviser, and violinist. I hold a B. Mus from Wilfrid Laurier University, and an MFA from Simon Fraser University. Many different genres and disciplines inform my work: neo-romantic, contemporary-classical, minimalist, electro-acoustic, soundscape, illustration, chamber, and more. I strive to inhabit the intersections between performance, composition and improvisation, and to provide comprehensive, holistic experiences for my audience.
