Audio Works
I have been creating audio works for over 30 years and am largely inspired by the explorations of the early electronic musicians of the 1950s-1970s. My work begins with the sounds themselves, not with a preconceived notion, such as a score, and they are composed by working directly with the recording technology as 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.

There is a lack of concern for what the intent of the “object” is, the interest is in what it reveals to me as the observer. The connection to the source is not outlawed by any means but it is not of primary concern. (Read More)
