The peak of 2018 was the performance of metal sculptures I had made, in a piece I simply called Sympathy. It was loud, intense, and had tons of multi-colored smoke. I did two cycles, one on each night of the festival. I also did one last performance in October, at the end of First Fridays.

Mechanically simple and sonically rich, these two sound objects have been used for a variety of audio performances. Essentially large pieces of steel with a multitude of contact mics attached, they offer a range of tone and percussive options.

This is a 20 minute performance in my San Jose, California art studio. It was recorded for the Sacramento Noise Waffle in November of 2021. The sound quality is pretty good and I am playing my Camel synth through a bass amplifier.

The first release of 2021 was a noise tape made with a synthesizer I built. I’m happy with the recording and the tape, but the promo for it might be more interesting than the thing itself. I guess that’s the age we live in.
