Projects

my Bandcamp page helps track my learning about field recording, sound design, music technologies, and related stuff. Ambience, experiments, drone, noise, and melodic things, too. All free. Recent stuff is also on most streaming services (as object-a): Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, etc.

Time & Place Machine is a low(er)-tech quadraphonic system made to let any user, regardless of experience, mix the audio of a place and/or a time to (re)produce an aural environment that references a given real or imagined place and /or time, but is also newly created via the mix.

my YouTube channel of videos I’ve made to go with short sound/music projects and a few “performances,” including a constantly-updated playlist of video selections of about a minute from morning VCV Rack and Eurorack patches. These help some mornings when I can’t do anything else, when I need something to help me focus, and/or when I have an idea that’s not for writing.

What Will Have Been Cool: Notes on Hauntological and Hypnogogic Music” is an audio essay about nostalgia and music. Enculturation (2022). Audio, Video, and Text.

Ian Curtis,” two short audio essays thinking about the importance (for me) of Ian Curtis of Joy Division. Hyperrhiz: New Media Cultures, no. 23 (2021). Audio and Text.

Here’s a playlist of improvisations and experiments I made inspired by reading about / listening to electronic music from the 1960s and 70s and recent analog electronic work (hauntological, hypnagogical, and otherwise) for a writing project. The tracks were eventually recorded to a Tascam Portastudio Two (circa 1987) for some old, sweet cassette saturation and hiss.
