Density
Density is a generative installation of abstract animation with six-channel sound based on a vintage mathematics reference text. Reversing the traditional visual music mapping from musical pitch to color hue, Density structures the sonic realm through constraints derived from the visual domain. The animation is created with custom software which simultaneously generates sound via granular synthesis controlled by the image track, sparking the interplay between image and sound.

My work is mentioned in this Southampton Press feature article about the As the Eye is Formed video program at the Parrish Art Museum:

Breaking Limits With Video Art

Screenings at the Parrish Art Museum

February 15, 2013

I am participating in two screenings at the Parrish Art Museum in March.

As the Eye is Formed
Juried Video Screening

and
Friday, March 29, 2013 – 6:00pm to 7:30pm
$10 | Free for Members, Children & Students

Co-presented with Hamptons International Film Festival
Juried by Peter Campus

Moving images have become our first language, and as such, affect the way we make meaning and perceive the world. What constitutes a movie is no longer stable or simple to define. As the Eye is Formed is a juried screening that surveys recent developments in moving image art, selected by one of video art’s most enduring and significant practitioners, Peter Campus. Works in this program push the boundaries of cinema, and may be abstract, generative, data-driven, animated, or include other hybrid techniques that are emblematic of our increasingly digital culture. Video by the following artists have been selected:

Aaron Bowles
Ahmet Civelek
Solange Fabiao
David Galbraith
Neil Goldberg
Theresa Hackett
Amber Heaton
Peter Macapia
Jason Mitcham
Alexandra Momin
Joe Nanashe
David Weiner
Roger Welch
Sheri Wills

John Cage Reflections (sound excerpt)

October 11, 2012

John Cage Reflections (excerpt)
sound, 2012
excerpt duration: 3:15
duration of complete work: 33:44

This excerpt is taken from the broadcast premiere of John Cage Reflections on Sept. 22, 2012 at Wave Farm in Acra, NY as part of 120 Hours for John Cage, a John Cage centennial program organized by free103point9 and the John Cage Trust.

John Cage Reflections is a work that combines spoken word with a live performance of Cage’s Cartridge Music. An actor inspired by Cage’s speaking voice reads text adapted from a 1972 interview with Cage later published as “Reflections of a Progressive Composer on a Damaged Society.” David Galbraith and James Galbraith perform the Duet for Cymbal version of Cartridge Music. Since both the voice and electroacoustic parts were composed using the Cartridge Music chance procedures involving graphical shapes and transparencies with dots, circles, lines and a circle marked like a stop-watch, the parts will at times overlap and compete volume-wise. Cartridge Music was included in the David Tudor 39th birthday concert in 1965, and on the program for a John Cage 75th birthday public performance in New York.  “Cage was the first composer (with his Cartridge Music of 1960) to realize the potential of an electronic music made live in the concert hall,” wrote Michael Nyman in his book Experimental Music: Cage and Beyond.
