I’m a composer and sound artist based in New Orleans. My recent work is research into how music can support brain health: I’ve developed an audio-only way to make the brain follow a target frequency within music, along with my own EEG analysis to measure it, and I’m working with university collaborators to test it. I founded Sound Applications to carry the work forward.
I also compose for film, concert and installation. Recent projects include contributing to the score for documentary A Strike at the Sun, a live score for Nosferatu, and Crystal Cipher, a sound sculpture premiered by Site Specific Happenings. My work has been presented at ICMC, SEAMUS and galleries in the US and abroad.
I taught electronic music and recording at Tulane, where I earned my MA in Music Science and Technology, and I’ve led instrument building and audio workshops for young people in several cities. I study Hindustani classical music with sarod maestro Atish Mukhopadhyay, and I also build software.
