My purpose as a sound artist, musician, and composer– is to illuminate the invisible — and to make visceral, the intangible.

Everything to me, has a pitch (i have perfect pitch) — which is why I think most any sounds can be harmonized or able to be made into music. When one widens the definition of codified ‘music’ to include found sounds and field recordings, music opens itself up unto a whole subliminal language at which we associate sound, music, its proximity, and texture, to have a narrative and cinematic quality — that is both subconscious and visceral, while also able to tell an abstract story, and most importantly, has the ability to transport.

My work is a kind of musical sound design, that is performed live — part foley, part dance, perhaps even a kind of audio Butoh – a morphing experiment of language, beyond the literal to the abstract, and visual, that trigger associations in the mind, making dynamic use of music’s rarefaction of inner space, and outer space.

Being a contrarian most all of my life, I have come to arrive at the experimental work that I do — because I have taken note of things I do not want to do. By avoiding the duly noted, and fusing what I find evocative and compelling from mediums across the board, my work is formed by closing in on the negative spaces of existing forms, to form a hybrid of sorts.

It is the anomalies, and the intersection of fields that interest me most — as it is there where I believe various mediums serve as analogous mirrors to each other, and is the spark of truly interdisciplinary innovation.
