- performance - Live, I build kinetic ambient-industrial soundscapes using
a variety of acoustic instruments and toys to generate
sounds that are manipulated, layered, and sent out
into a multi-channel surround-sound system.
I also project my images as large as possible,
typically filling the wall behind thestage.
