Legion (excerpt)
Performance exploring internal struggle, transformation, and memory through body-driven sound and image.
Process: Depth camera and body-tracking data rendered in TouchDesigner particle systems; sound created with granular synthesis. Presented in octophonic speaker configuration for immersive sound.
Upwelling (excerpt)
Work rooted in the Fox River, weaving local river imagery with symbolic echoes of bison filmed by the artist in South Dakota. The piece also incorporates digitized family Super 8 films, connecting ecological transformation with memory and personal history.
Process: River imagery, bison footage, and family films integrated into generative visuals with TouchDesigner; sound design combined granular synthesis with FFT-based spectral processing in Max/MSP. Presented in octophonic speaker configuration for spatial immersion.
Exposed Roots (excerpt)
Immersive digital landscape created from LiDAR scans of tree roots and riverbanks.
Process: High-resolution LiDAR point clouds processed with particle instancing and feedback in TouchDesigner; ecological field recordings transformed into sonic textures in Max/MSP.
tymbals, traffic, trains and other tones (Excerpt)
Study merging environmental soundscapes with geometric abstraction. Field recordings of cicadas — whose tymbals produce piercing tones — overwhelm the Chicago L and urban noise outside the artist’s residence.
Process: Audio recordings drive transformations of geometric textures, with visuals completed in Max/MSP Jitter. The interplay of insect, traffic, and train recordings with responsive geometry creates depth beyond particle systems, highlighting the tension between natural and urban sonic environments.
Static Interludes - Golden Hour (excerpt)
Abstract meditation evoking light, decay, and transformation at sunset.
Process: Photography captured during golden hour, transformed using geometric mapping techniques in TouchDesigner. Visual parameters driven by audioreactive control linked to field recordings and sound textures in Max/MSP.
Static Interludes - Heron (Excerpt)
Close-up heron transformed into shimmering particle-based environments, blending natural and cosmic scales.
Process: Filmed wildlife integrated with particle swarms in TouchDesigner; sound created with FM synthesis driven by an algorithmic patch in Max/MSP, alongside ecological recordings processed and spatialized.
Transcendence (Excerpt)
Abstract mirrored form evoking oscillations, symmetry, and transformation. Archival family footage is repurposed as color lookup tables, fusing personal memory with generative digital structures.
Process: Mirrored visuals created in TouchDesigner with parameters driven by analog synthesis
