Composer of Electronic and Chamber Music, Freelance Programmer

It appears that UWM has cut my MP3s off, so I’m switching audio hosting setups. In the meantime, the links will be broken. Fixed soon.

I just received word that my piece Waveformations will be on the headphone concert at the SEAMUS conference this year. I’m not sure, but according to the email I received, it looks like there will be two performances of the concert – one on Thursday, April 8th and one on Friday, April 9th, both at 10:00pm. I’m looking forward to the headphone concert idea, it’s not something I’ve been a part of before. If you’re planning to attend, the organizers ask that you bring your own headphones.

By the way, if you’re interested, you can check out the original album that Waveformations was released on. It’s from Wandering Ear, a netlabel releasing primarily field-recording and phonographic works. All of the tracks are reconstructions of an earlier Wandering Ear release, made of field recordings from Minnesota. My friend and collaborator David Collins also has a track there, which you should definitely check out.

The Electric Monster Laptop Ensemble, organized by Hsiao-Lan Wang, performed my piece “Solid State” on December 4th of 2009. I just got a recording of the performance, which you can check out below.

A screenshot of a piece I’m working on, entitled RadioGamelan. It’s for networked laptops, and involves sharing rhythms across a wireless network. Each performer chooses an independent tempo, and the multiple tempi can be combined to create varying polyrhythms. Pitch is controlled either using a step-sequencer or the graphical piano keyboard.
