Sound Art

exploring sound as material

I often play around with sound as material. Sometimes what comes out resembles a song, and other times it’s a little more esoteric than that. As always, I focus on process more than product. What’s interesting to me is how the process of making influences how I remember events, learn new skills, engage with my environment, and process trauma. 

I work most commonly with the following instruments: voice, loop pedal, harmonica, percussion, baritone and concert ukulele, keyboard and piano.

These are a combination of snippets from polished work and bootleg recordings. A few are the sole remaining traces of improvisations….
