 I'm a composer and first-year master's student at UC San Diego. I primarily work with electronics+live instruments and sound design.<br/>
-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.
+Since that time, I have been enticed by the idea of organizing surrealistic scenarios both concrete and abstract. In 2009, as part of a collaboration, I created the sound design and co-wrote the story for an experimental production entitled "Down the Rabbit Hole," which, in its finished version, was a humorous, morbid, gender-bending spin on Alice in Wonderland. It was performed at the Kansas City Art Institute in 2009.

 ==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.<br/>

 Extended phenotypes<br/>
 The concept of free will from a scientific standpoint<br/>
+The possibility of subverting the super-ego and ego in art<br/>
-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?
+I am suited to create sound environments (including live-processed design), write music for acoustic or electronic instruments, and write/outline processes and dramatic schemas.  I am proficient in Max, PD, and a variety of DAWs and waveform editors, as well as Finale.
+I am interested in working with an artist, particularly one who is interested in environments, ecosystems, dreams, or offshoots and tangents of these things, anyone who has a solid background in scientific method
 ==Project Idea==
-If you already have a project idea go ahead and pitch it here.
+Incipiently:<br/>
+-The creation of interactive, dreamlike habitats designed to stimulate various facets of the id
+-A project that blurs boundaries between scientific experiment and art, (e.g. staging a real experiment as performance art while actually gathering useful data at the same time. The data gathered could be used in a "part II.")
 ==Platforms==
-My platform is OS X.
