In Limbo
This a is a short song that I created. A segment of it was later used in a Nick Allen short film called "In Limbo" which can be seen on www.offscreenproductions.com.
Einstein
This is a dialog piece that I created for a gallery performance in early December of 2009. This piece focuses on Albert Einstein's brain and thought process after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I view the A-bombs as the point in which Einstein's science is in direct conflict with his ideals as a pacifist, and this conflict was what I wanted to focus on while also using a lot of time and timbre manipulation to draw parallels between Einstein as a person and his theories of Special and General Relativity. I recorded people reading quotes and excerpts from Einstein's letters, and then used only those original recordings to make every sound in this piece.
Computer Music
The creation of this piece was a lot different than anything that I had done previously, mainly because I was writing a computer program and not the piece itself. Jason and I wrote a program that would play a collection of sound-files pseudo-randomly. The process starts by writing a line of code for each sound file (about 115 total) to tell the computer a series of information and parameters. Heres a sample:
58, Bmote9 shotF 1005.51 1700 15000 50 50 20 30 80 90 Bmote9;
This line means that the following data pertains to the 58th sound-file in the folder, its name is Bmote9, it will play it foreward,it is 1005.51 milliseconds long, it will play again sometime between 1,700 and 15,000 milliseconds from the last time it was heard, and the other numbers affect things like reverb, spatialization, and volume.
Basically, it was my job to give the computer a set of parameters, and then the computer crunches the numbers and randomly plays the sound-file. As the piece is playing I can then choose which sound-files can be heard and which are muted. I am simply choosing the sounds are audible, but nothing else, this means that every time I run this program the computer creates a different piece of music than the time before. I recorded a 7 minute run-through to give you an idea of what this program sounds like while running.

Dirt
This is is a piece that I created for a gallery performance in early December 2009. The focus of this piece is how the internet has affected the porn industry.
Some pictures
Here is a small taste of some of my photos . I don't consider myself a photographer by any stretch of the imagination. I took a photo class a couple years ago, and it kind of just stuck with me as something that I do for fun every now and then.
