Activist Montage
Below is an audio montage/narrative-like soundscape that I have created from various clips of NPR interviewees and reporters. It was originally developed for a 4-channel audio system, but below is the binaural stereo mix. Audio was generated using ChucK. End result and source code can be found below. Hope you enjoy.

Algorithmic Composition with the Fibonacci Sequence
I find the significance of the Fibonacci number sequence in nature, art, and mathematics very interesting. For some time I have been thinking about how this pattern can be applied to music and have been developing my own musical composition that is algorithmically based on the Fibonacci sequence.
The composition as it stands currently:
Please enjoy, and feel free to download if you would like.

Algorithmic Jams
While working on my Fibonacci piece (mentioned here), some interesting results pop up now and then. These riffs were algorithmically generated, written in JavaScript and Max/MSP, and are based on the Fibonacci numbers in multiple ways.
An algorithmically generated riff based on the Fibonacci numbers. Mapped to the pitch set with missing semitones that are multiples of 21.
Sort of atonal jam

[ Demo ]
This past summer I spent a good amount of time editing and mixing my band’s demo which is finally available for all to hear. For anyone who doesn’t know, our band is called [ ]. We like to think of it as a symbol that can be pronounced “aptronym”.
Here is one of our songs, entitled “Funk Train”:

Fibbass 2011
This semester, I am working with Prof. Curtis Bahn to develop my Fibonacci piece in a much greater capacity, and will be hopefully be developing this idea into the composition that I have always wanted it to be.

Coagulate
Here is another song I made recently. I do not think it is perfect, but I am proud of it. I think we are going to try to perform it as a band.

Splinter
This is a song I made for Computer Music class. It is produced entirely of sounds I have recorded myself. There are still a few compression issues that I would like to work out, but overall I’m pretty proud of it.

Video Project
This is a video that I made for school this semester for Intermediate Video class. I wouldn’t say that it is polished by any means, but I was proud to submit it (which is more than I can say for my final project for that same class). If I remember correctly the assignment was to build a climax using few shots.
