A(rt) Life 2.0
03.11.09 | Permalink | Comments OffA(rt)Life 2.0 is an installation of music, sound, and projected animation. It uses a flocking behavior to reveal the possibilities of sound in Artificial Life systems. A(rt)Life 2.0 examines the relationship of music and emergence by exploring how self-organizing behavior can extend music endlessly in time.

Tonal Clusters
03.10.09 | Permalink | Comments OffThis project was completed in May, 2004. Music, as an element of interactive design, shares an equal significance with color palette, typography, imagery, layout, and animation. This piece explores that relationship through the use of non-linear musical composition.
