It’s been a long time since I posted, but I’m finally set up again, living in San Francisco now, working at New Scientist magazine. In addition to more sounds and beats, I will be posting occasional science pieces as I complete them. Here’s one to start, a climate change map for the US […]
I haven’t posted anything recently because I’ve been finishing up a number of projects out here at MIT. I wanted to share this one with everybody, it’s my final project for my New Media Storytelling class at the Media Lab. This is a Twitter visualizer built using Quartz Composer that takes multiple users and […]

I finished my submission for the 2009 RPM Challenge last night. Clocking in at 37:27–one track, ten sections–this is my first experiment with purely ambient “music”. Each section starts with a raw recorded sound that then gets manipulated beyond recognition, hopefully in a mostly pleasant way. […]
I’ve been playing around a bit with Processing and made a little art-interactive thingy. Click in the whitespace below to start a chain of color bubbles. If the chain stops, click somewhere else. Try dragging the mouse around to better direct the madness. You can clear everything by pressing any key. […]
Last summer I composed and produced some music to help illustrate different stages of the water cycle and how water interacts with the human environment. The music, created for the Boise Watershed Museum, accompanied an animated version of the above microcosm. I composed fourteen pieces, each about a minute in length, presented below. […]
It seems that one can really never have too many sounds to play with when it comes time to compose or flesh out a new beat or song. So here’s my new experiment. I’m going to try to post a new sound every couple days, either raw, or manipulated with Ableton Live 7. I’ll post […]
Noam Chomsky spoke this evening at MIT about Gaza, Israel, and US foreign policy. Here’s the tweetstream, followed by some audio of the talk and the QnA afterwards. (apologies for the crappy audio)

BUILD DAY
It’s a gray Saturday morning and the MIT campus is dead. Empty courtyards testify that most students are either sleeping off last night’s fun, or still attached to a screen after an all-night computer programming session. Some are up, however, and I’m headed to meet them at Build […]
Throughout my first semester at MIT, I have been collecting words from members of arts community here on campus. Here’s a sampling of responses to my request for “one word”.
