| Much of my
work
with experimental music theater as well as my non-theatrical music has
incorporated various forms of new technology. I use the Max/MSP
programming environment to manage real-time processing of audio and for
the synchronization of diverse media. Most of my technical
ability comes from working with Ali Momeni and through
UC Berkeley's
Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT). |
|
| I have also
been engaged in an ongoing project
between CNMAT and UC Berkeley's Space
Science Laboratory to sonify solar data. We are developing
tools to convert multi-channel solar sensor data into sound.
Using CNMAT's SDIF
data format -- as well as Spectrogram Image Analysis using Max/MSP's
Jitter tool set -- scientists, musicians, and students will be able to
interact with this data in enriching and revealing ways. Some
more information is available here. |

Check back in
the future for links to some of the
Max patches that I have created including:
- Piece-specific patches for the realization of some of my
compositions with live electronics
- Patches for the real-time implementation of classic works
for
trumpet and electronics (Gaburo's Mouth-Piece,
Reynolds' ...the serpent snapping eye,
and others)
|
|
| In addition
to computer-based technology, I have
been involved in the creation of new physical instruments many of which
intersect with computer via CNMAT's ethernet-based Rimas Box interface,
IRCAM's AtomicPro, and Eric Singer's MidiTron.
