Performances
2015—Present
I have been performing music in various contexts (in groups, bands, solo) and environments (DIY spaces, basements, churches) since 2015. My performances are based in synthesized music and functions of memory and time. I rely heavily on improvisation, using modular synthesizers, Max/MSP, SuperCollider, and self-made interfaces for each performance. Recently, my practice involves improvisationally digging into a wealth of recordings and samples accumulated over the past decade and reconstructing them into new assemblages.
2024
A/V performance with Max/MSP and Processing.
2022
Live-coded performance with just-intoned modular synthesizer and audio samples, later released digitally by Hard Return in 2023.
2019
Audio documentation from an A/V performance in a church in Troy, NY, with guitar, electronics, and Max/MSP.
