My work examines actions and the rules associated with them. Any act, whether playing music or commuting on public transportation, can be broken down into a chain of codes that relate to the space in which they occur. I am interested in how an environment of a situation is not a constant defined by place, but a continuous space defined by action.

 My methodology involves mapping out an action and creating a set of codes that reference its environment. When the codes of multiple actions share a common denominator, they can be translated into one other; i.e., music compositions based on the actions of a tennis match or a strategy for playing tennis based on a music composition. These translations can be materialized as drawings, paintings, sculpture, video, sound and/or music.

 The projects range from the individual actions that occur in a private space, to social actions that occur in a public space. Competitive sports and performance events exist in between this dichotomy, where the field or the stage is private in relation to the audience and the audience is public in relation to the athletes on the field or the performers on the stage. Most recently, I have been exploring the narrative space of cinema by scoring and performing film soundtracks.

The performance work I do involves the sound of actions. I create music from non-musical actions by using contact microphones and Max/Msp.
