Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Music at UCSD and a researcher at the Center for Research in Computing in the Arts. I study computer music with Miller Puckette. My work explores interactivity, social structures, and dynamical systems as resources for algorithmic composition. For example, I have been using genetic algorithms to manipulate waveforms to produce a series of tape pieces dealing with issues of deriving form from process. My performance pieces and compositions for multi-channel tape, acoustic instruments, and interactive electronics have been performed at concerts and festivals in California, Minnesota, Spain, and Hungary.
