I’ve been an active developer on the open source project Roundware for the past few months, and it’s been very exciting. I’ve gotten the opportunity to pitch in a project used in Sound Artist Halsey Burgund‘s last few installations, as well as develop a location-based media platform geared towards ART instead of broadcast.

In 2007 I created a piece with Iole Alessandrini called Hidden Spaces. From the press release: Hidden Spaces is an interactive light and sound installation.

Elliot Smith passed while I was working on the score and the music I wrote has a bedroom-pop feel in places as a result . In his review of Taos …
Ryan Dignan and I collaborated on the soundtrack for Megan Griffith’s first feature, a romance that takes place in a school of cosmetology in small town Idaho. Ryan and I split some of the work up at times and pitched in together on others. All recorded in one marathon session in a friend’s basement on …
