SOUNDING
I make music for and with people and groups of all sorts. Regardless of the context, my work is highly collaborative in nature, prioritizing art’s ability to connect, heal, and transform those involved in its creation and realization. As of late, I have been particularly interested in the body’s place in music, and sound’s ability to facilitate “real” experiences for audiences and performers. Below is a selection of projects I’ve been involved in recently, followed by some documentation of my compositional practice.
