Artist Statement
I have been composing and creating music with the use of computers for over 11 years. Though I am a multi-instrumentalist, the computer is my main instrument, one that allows me to gather, generate, organize, and structure the sounds, rhythms and melodies that become my compositions. One of the latent advantages of working in this way is that the resulting compositions can be heard immediately- without having to translate my ideas through notation. My fluency with my instrument and the immediacy of the compositional response allows me to also develop works in real time. During the past five years I have been developing a series of live performances with collaborating musicians. Often improvisatory, these live works have allowed me to develop new directions in my work as well as reach new audiences.
