AS A COMPOSER I hope to ignite the imagination. In much of my work, I use recording and computing technology to enhance and augment the natural sounds of instruments, with a goal of creating inviting aural spaces. My pieces have been performed and commissioned by ensembles and players including bass clarinetist Michael Lowenstern, the Electronic Hammer, percussionist Greg Beyer, clarinetist Guido Arbonelli, Arraymusic, duo Contour, and CONTACT contemporary music, and have been heard at a number of different festivals and venues in North America and abroad, including ICMC, Visiones Sonoras, and the MATA Festival.
I am currently an Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater, where I teach courses in audio, multimedia, music technology, and composition. I completed my Ph.D. at the University at Buffalo (principal studies with composer Cort Lippe), having previously received degrees from Florida International University and Middlebury College.
