I play piano and work with electronics.
I am interested in real-time performance systems that
have some of the live, tactile qualities of
good human musicians playing acoustic instruments.
My work mostly involves using gestural interfaces
to control synthesis,
and building systems that interact with human performers.
In particular,
I am inspired by improvisers who have developed rich palettes of
extended techniques.
I've built systems, tools, installations and compositions in collaboration with Peter van Bergen, John Butcher, Matt Heckert, and Lynn Hershman, among others; I've performed in the San Francisco Bay area, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Karlsruhe (Germany), and London. I am a founding member of the Beanbender's collective, which organized over 150 concerts of new music in the San Francisco Bay area.  |
