Logic Synth Deconstruct - A recreation of four simple, integrated synths in Apple’s Logic with Clavia’s Nord Modular G2 platform. Was a core curriculum addition that I developed for Music Synthesis at Berklee to get early students to connect the modular world they learn in with the integrated world more common to production. The PDF was one contribution of mine to a core curriculum class’s “Teacher’s Guide,” co-authored with Tom Rhea. View PDF

Diesel Confession Booth - Using a combination of MaxMSP, Jitter, AppleScript, and shell scripting, I did the interactive programming for this installation piece at the 5th Avenue Diesel store in New York. Created for Fashion Night Out and running for several months afterward, the piece invited customers to enter the booth, interface through a touch screen, and record a video of their “stupid” confession. The videos were then cycled into rotation on 30+ televisions in the storefront, automatically converted and uploaded to Diesel’s server, and then emailed to the customer. The following are some documentation, pictures, and media coverage. Visit website 1 Visit website 2

“Levitation” Installation Piece (Dornbirn, Austria) - I created the audio system for this architectural installation piece by the artist Thilo Frank. As the object slowly rotated, sounds that were recently recorded were played back through resonators in the object itself. Gradually, the sounds of the visitors blend into the resonance of the space.

Classroom/Multimedia Systems - These various software projects were made with audio classroom/lab situations in mind, but the concepts are fully adaptable to any lab or multi-room campus environment and beyond.

JavaScript Amusement - Beyond web programming, I have used JavaScript extensively in MaxMSP, Adobe programs, and other environments. On a subway advertisement a while back, a technology company posted a challenge: Write out all the numbers from 1 to 999,999,999 as words, and then determine the 51 billionth letter. This is a JavaScript solution. View webpage

Live Performance Systems - Here are output examples of two video performance systems I made using Jitter. The two video clips are examples of feedback and scaling (with sound by an improvisatory ensemble). The webpage takes stills from the performance and randomly overlays them (hit reload on that page to see different results). View webpage

Generative Systems - These five images are stills from a generative video system made in Jitter that obeys certain architectural rules with an amount of interaction. A variation of this system was made to visualize Micah Frank’s installation, “Tectonic,” a piece that sonifies realtime earthquake data for a 319 Scholes group show, “The Shift.” View image 1 View image 2 View image 3 View image 4 View image 5 View “The Shift” show page
