music

I write, record and perform music deriving from many forms, particularly jazz, "classical" electronic music, ambient music, and Indonesian gamelan, with influences from a wide variety of artists: Laurie Anderson, Frank Zappa, Wendy Carlos, Pat Metheny, Brian Eno, and even John Cage - lyrical pieces with unique timbres and harmonies. 

programming

I do Perl at my day job, but I'm learning Cocoa (both Java and Objective-C) for my own MacOS-based music software projects. 

News

 I'll be performing at Different Skies 2007.

"Ocean Songs", my first new album in more than ten years, is in its final recording stages. Samples available soon.

I'm currently working on a heavily-Frankensteined version of Brad Garton's jlooch as a performance instrument.
