Music

Below you will find a perfromance list with some pictures, and mp3 recordings of music that I have composed or produced, sometimes in collaborations. I have been a member of the  UK based electroacoustic collective nerve8, and the Chicagoland semi-improvisational acoustic / electronic group Squirm*Orchestra. nerve8 has taken electroacoustic music into unusual spaces and acoustics, and has attracted non-traditional audiences. Squirm*Orchestra thrives on eclectic multi-instrumentalism, typically employing flute, violin, tuba, multiple drumkits and drummers, bass, saxophones, banjo, kazoo and multiple laptops, to create a complex and contempory fabric. I love the spontaneity of improvisation in open mic sessions with like minded musicians. It is the fastest way I know to make friends.
