1) “Linguistic Programming of Sonic Psychotechnologies” – 30 min. A combination of spoken word, sound and visual synthesis, and remixing, the performance tracks science fictional word play and formal experiment from texts to the sonic innovations of films. Some literary and film history, some theory, and some original fictive elements converge with new soundscapes and alien broadcasts. As a work of science fiction in its own right, the performance shifts the emphasis on the “new” in science fiction from history, utopia/dystopia, and analogy toward other states of consciousness and new modes of being in the world. The goal of this exploration of inner/outer space is to document the patterns of sonic and material hybridization that characterize the language and other sonorous objects of science fiction.
Invited Performances
“Pattern Language.” Lafayette Electronic Arts Festival. Lafayette, CO. April 27, 2018.
2) “The Remediation of Olaus Wormius” (ver. 1) – 25 min. A solo audiovisual performance incorporating immersive soundscapes, cosmic visuals, live synthesizer, and processed spoken word. This lunar disaster tale of infection, possession and its consequences, is a Lovecraftian horror piece explores the nature of recorded media, the occult nature of radio transmission, personal loss, and cosmic calamity.
Invited Performances
“The Passage of Light Can Be Bent.” Counterpath Gallery. Denver, CO. October 27, 2017.
3) microMacroCosm – 45 min. An audio/video performance, in collaboration with Prof. Timothy Weaver. The biomolecular microcosm to the interstellar macrocosm measure the farthest limits of the human Imaginary. The work uses sound and imagery drawn from DNA sequences, real-time biofeedback, navigation proteins, spectral analysis, interstellar radiowave activity, and field recordings. The intent of the project is to further the means of contemporary biocosmic interpretation and visualization through an extended cultural dialogue regarding the continuum of biological narrative and cosmological imagination.
Invited Performances
“Close Encounters.” The 4th European Biannual Conference of the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts. Universiteitstheater. Amsterdam, Holland. June 15, 2006. We also delivered an artists’ talk about this project.
4) Somaticosmos – 25 min. A solo audio/video performance. The work derives audio, video, and virtual reality data from interstellar radiowave activity, extraplanetary weather events within our solar system, and space telescope observations. The performance also embeds documentation of the biofeedback patterns of the artist’s own respiratory and circulatory activity. Interstellar and somatic systems thus reflect and inform one another through the manipulation and layering of their respective audio and video equivalents.
Invited Performances
“Upgrade! New York.” Eyebeam Art and Technology Center Gallery. New York, NY. November 10, 2006.
“Live Audio Visual Festival.” Alliance for Technology, Learning, and Society, University of Colorado, Boulder, Blackbox Theater 2B. Boulder, CO. October 13, 2006.
5) Brink of Disaster! – 25 min. A solo audio/video performance. This critical remix of an early-70s social studies film on campus radicalism is about the specific, historical conflict between 20th Century youth movements and the machinery of mass media and capital that manufactured the collective spectacle of commercial broadcast.
Invited Performances
“100% Illegal Fun.” Oriental Theater. Denver, CO. September 16, 2006.
“Upgrade! Amsterdam.” De Melkweg, Theaterzaal. Amsterdam, Holland. June 14, 2006. I also presented an artist’s talk about the performance.

Launched December 2005 at http://www.altx.com/audio, with new short works added on an on-going basis, and now archived in the Internet Archive’s “Moving Images” database.

2) “Beginning of the Voyage” – 5 min. Audio/video for DVD. This project uses selections of vintage TV commercials and other media oddities to undercut a selection of text drawn from Timothy Leary’s “Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out.” The video critiques the legacy of the promises of the 60s counter culture by juxtaposing it against other systems of media and mind control. Completed December 2005.
