I am a cellist/composer/multimedia artist. In both live performance and recorded work, I blend cello, found sound, electronic effects and abstract, layered, still-motion film. The cello's ability to range from deep resonance to ghostlike harmonic voice provides an expressive source for much of my multimedia work. My cross-sensory, blurred vision of the world impacts my visual language. I am inspired by emergent, organic forms, beat poets and abstract expressionist art. I use chance and generative forms to create sparse, minimalist spaces to dense, synesthetic, orchestral landscapes.
Using a multimedia approach, I engage in the human quest to know, articulate, and grapple with the ephemeral, elusive underworld of our experience - the ways we construct our personal story, the relationship to our physical surroundings and the myths / ghosts that exist in that landscape.
