(pp->pp) Work interested in breaking down any barriers that (still) exist between public space and private space. cd, coming soon. 

During Iraq 2006 the listener listens to daily body counts of the Iraq war in 2006.This work is a direct response to the Iraq war. This piece combines several translational music constructs in order to give listeners a new perspective on the death toll in Iraq while addressing issues of the United States media’s reporting of the war. I did not want the piece to have any political agenda.

A sound installation in eight channels. Listeners are able to hear a sonic representation of satellites currently over them.

Each group of satellites (Weather, Military, etc) are given unique sonic identities. The eight channels provide an experience to the listener that allows them to approximate the location of the satellite.

This installation can be made site specific to anywhere in the world.

This is the third work in a series of pieces to translate live e-mail traffic into sound, expressing in music something that is not normally heard but important to most peoples lives. Sounds are generated by the distance from the server a message is coming from. Additional sounds are generated by people checking their e-mail with the distance and country they are checking from determining the different aspects of the sounds.

This piece is to be presented in the Olin Library Lobby at Wesleyan University in May 2006 and uses data from Wesleyan’s own email servers to create the sonic environment.
