“I strongly believe the intersection of mediums is the foundation of my work. In order for mediums to intersect, they must have a common thread. For myself, that thread is time. My work is comprised of captured personal moments using field recordings, voicemails, and video footage, while manipulating them in real-time. The use of Max MSP, open sound control, audio synthesis, motion controllers, looping and audio analysis helps to create an ephemeral experience for the audience. My process of layering and blurring both imagery and soundscapes should hopefully provoke the audience to reminisce about fleeting memories that often escape our conscious.”
