Typically one does not engage with the material of the cassette. Unless it was being eaten by a tape player, the average consumer never gazed upon its reflective spool. To this point most media requires a certain precious handling of it, the CD, DVD and LP require the listener to hold only the edge. Perhaps speaking to the ubiquity of the digital file these days, the MP3, FLAC, WAV and others have no real handling instructions. I want to focus on the surface.

Live on the Sadayatana

On Friday August 5, 2011, from 11pm-12am EST, I performed live on the Sadayatana program for StillStream radio. The audio was simulcast live on 93.5MHz in the Baltimore metro listening area and consisted of three all new, improvisional electronic ambient compositions created for this broadcast.

Set list:
- Blue Star – 19’38?
- ElevenEleven – 24’07?
- The Fifth World – 15’19?

Transmission Intervention Amsterdam: Day Three

This past March during a 10 day residency at STEIM [STudio for Electro Instrumental Music] in Amsterdam I created a series of improvised electronic music works that were performed live and unannounced during the day and night on the FM band throughout the city.

Because the documentation was recorded directly from the receiver, any static or interference captured, although not necessarily planned, was intentional and became part of the final documented work. This performance was heard live on 97.1MHz FM the evening of March 14, 2012.

whiteout

whiteout is a new series of live FM transmission performances exploring and questioning the aesthetic of noise on the radio. These new textural works are created live and in the moment through the use of multiple analog electronic instruments and a 7-watt FM transmitter. Each work is recorded directly off the radio as it was potentially heard by the listener and takes place in undisclosed locations throughout the United States in late fall 2012 into 2013.
