Spring 2012:
Winter 2012:
Wreck Chorder(for iPhone/iPad): A musical collaboration tool. Here the collaboration will be both with the application which suggests chords and helps articulate rhythms and with the public at large. Upload a track and let others add to it or remix it and recycle it again and again, each time taking a new form.
Pickin' On ChucK: Here I explore some new human / machine collaboration possibilities. This is a performance system created for the banjo (or any other instrument for that matter). Using various analysis of the input signal the system will build a soundscape up with the performer in real time.
Points of Perspective: Even the most mundane thing can take on interest and meaning depending on how you look at it. Points of Perspective is an anaglyph 3D study which explores different visual and aural perspectives of a kinetic sculpture. Sounds from the sculpture are filtered through speakers made from sheet-metal and plywood.

How About Now? (composition written in ChucK programming language)
Score – This piece is created for a 4 channel surround sound configuration
Optical Pickups for Trimpin's Water-Harp – This circuit will be used to mix the output of 4 strings. The design uses fiber optics sending a constant light signal out one side which will be modulated by the string and returned on the other.
