Video from the Engagement Party residence series at MOCA, including work by Knifeandfork (Sue Huang and myself). I make a cameo at :43 (you can see the piece here). Was so much fun. Thx to Aandrea Stang!

A short video by myself and Chihao Yo featuring Jen Vincent and Nupur Mathur. The exercise is exploring the notion of ‘interval’ in a conversation — duration, tempo, cadence. I built a quick Jitter patch to auto-edit the first section (nothing about the timing from the original footage has been altered); Chihao did the second by hand (the order is consistent). In theory we wanted to choose the subjects at random, but it turns out they are great friends, and that made it a better piece.

 

Part of the Eyebeam Chats series…

Soundtrack to “Wavelength”, a performance for dance, light, and sound. Stereo mix — originally a multichannel environment. With Asha Tamirisa and Jessie LaFargue.

I was trying to be a very serious electronic musician and make something only with simple oscillators and make it fly around the speakers. But all the voices are named after forest creatures.
