I'm a composer and first-year master's student at UC San Diego. I primarily work with electronics+live instruments and sound design.
In the year 2007, (after learning to use a siphon), I brewed a massive cup of Japanese sencha in my neighbor's hot tub, with the help of partner-in-crime Paul Child (M.M. music theory, U of Indiana.) Since fulfilling the urge to swim in a massive cup of green tea, I've been constantly enticed by the idea of organizing surrealistic feats.

I am currently curating and organizing an installation/concert at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. It will be held on April 14th, and will include musical selections ranging from Saariaho's Sept Papillons to free improvisation to ambient sound design to American folk music. A link to the event can be found here [1].

Interests

I am constantly seeking ways to integrate my diverse interests. As an artistic platform, I am fascinated by patterns of the subconscious, recording movements of the subconscious via music as a way to project chaos, suppressed instinct, and "animal" awareness. I am fascinated by the relationship between memory, dreams, and reality; this contributes to my desire to build hyper-realities and waking dream scenarios.
Other important interests of mine include:
Music as a behavior performed by humans (representing a phenotype)
Movements of music evoking characters or behaviors
Creation of surreal sound environments or ecosystems
Extended phenotypes
The concept of free will from a scientific standpoint

I am also quite attracted to the possibility of subverting the super-ego and ego in art.


My collaboration interest

You should describe a bit where you think your strengths are and on which field you would have a collaborative partner to work with from the other institution. What are your goals in this class, where do you think are you going?

Project Idea

If you already have a project idea go ahead and pitch it here.

Platforms

My platform is OS X.
