This work, Frakture, was commissioned but the ASU Symphony orchestra and is scored for full orchestra, bass and snare drums in the hall and the audiences smart phones. I perform the phone layers of the work from stage, including spatial movement of sounds across the audience, the granulation of samples from the orchestra and the triggering of instrumental passages on the phones. This makes for a really ecosystemic performance where everyone is part of the creation of the work in the moment.

Ted and Courtney Balaker are the team behind the new documentary The Coddling of the American Mind. Based on the 2018 best-selling book by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, the film follows a series of students as they navigate life on today's highly charged college campuses. I spoke with Courtney and Ted, who started his video career as one of the first hires at Reason TV, about the Gen Z mental health crisis, free speech, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs, the oppressor-victim worldview, and why they chose to host the film on the innovative platform Substack rather than a more traditional venue.
