Innermost Echoes

Innermost Echoes is an on-going performance work in which a robotic koto sonifies and is controlled by the real-time physiological data of the performers and audience members. This work is a collaboration with researchers George Chernyshov and DingDing Zheng, along with koto players Aoi Uyama and Kozue Matsumoto. It is funded in part by the JST Moonshot Cybernetic Being Project.

Ephemeral Counterpoint

Ephemeral Counterpoint is a mixed-media work which explores the meaning on memory and how our are manipulated and affected by recorded media. Several 1/4” open reel desks are placed around CRT televisions and cassette players displaying memories from my childhood. This visual/sonic landscape is a representation of my memories via these obsolete technologies.
