I am a composer/audio artist/producer, and new media artist/creative technologist. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary projects that explore the intersection of art, culture, politics/IR, gaming, and technology. The focus of my work has included film score, music production, podcast production, sound design, and interactive installation works using physical computing, proprietary software, filmmaking & editing, and performance. I currently teach a digital media installation course as an adjunct professor at NYU's Integrated Design & Media program, and an Electronic Music Performance course in NYU’s Music Technology program. As a composer I've scored feature films, documentary films, and branded content including , VICE's Right to Die (HBO) & State of Surveillance (HBO), Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain, James Franco's As I Lay Dying, and a series of artist profile films for the Guggenheim. I've composed music and developed sound design assets for interactive content including Frequency, Harmonix's pre-cursor to Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and Gen-Z Media's Treasure Island 2020.I compose and produce for a variety of electronic, indie, and experimental music projects including a music-driven multi-media Daddy project with James Franco and Andy Rourke (The Smiths). Currently I am finishing up on a solo album in addition to a collaborative album with Andy Rourke. My work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Spin, Billboard, Wire, the Fader, Interview Magazine, Vice, iD, Time, The Village Voice, Paper Magazine, and Pitchfork.
