Regardless of the particular discipline I'm working in, I appreciate the aesthetic of complexity and the concept of maximalism. I employ random processes aided by algorithmic software and an improvisational performance practice that balances between noise, drone and my background as a classically trained performer of stringed instruments.

 

Described less abstractly, I perform experimental music, which often includes improvisation, is sometimes processed or prepared using computers or electronics (homemade and consumer) and may feature traditional scores or alternative methods of notation. I build instruments and other objects for installation, performance, radio, and for works of inhuman duration. I program algorithmic video installations using similar methods and resources.
 

I teach Fine Arts in South Florida. Current and past subjects include Art and Design, Art History, Media Studies, and Music Theory​​​
