Audio Works
Sound allows you to touch from a distance
Musique Concrète
For over 30 years I've made audio works in the spirit of the early electronic composers of the 1950s–70s. I start with the sounds themselves rather than a score, composing directly with recording technology as my instrument.
ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC COMPOSITIONS
These albums contain works that use Musique Concréte and Elektronische Musik techniques that explore the relationships between electronic and concrete sounds. Sources include field recordings, invented instruments, common household utensils, concrete and electronics.
PHONOGRAPHY
Phonography is recording and listening without the need to identify. I'm drawn to the intrinsic value of a sound, apart from any understanding of its source—and that's what separates phonographers from field recordists, nature enthusiasts, and radio journalists. What a source "means" or intends matters less to me than what it reveals in the act of listening. The connection to the source isn't off-limits; it's just not the point.
