I am creating the sound design and some original electronic compositions for this immersive theatre piece taking place October 19-28, 2023 at PORTAGE AVENUE CHURCH: 1420 PORTAGE AVENUE.

I’ll be creating a theatrical sound installation as part of the design as well as working with cymatics to create some interesting audio/visual effects.

It has been 30 years since the apocalyptic devastation of The Great World Flood. In honour of this 30th anniversary our famed leader Cassandra invites you to visit New Winnipeg and experience all we have to offer.

TOPS (working title) is a new project of mine, conceived of as an electro-mechanical sculptural sound composition and performance tool comprised of 40 modified tin harmonic tops, each controlled via a set of linked Arduino microcontrollers.

This project was recently funded by the BC Arts Council and is currently in production. I expect to have a prototype completed in the next few months.

If you are interested in showing TOPS in your gallery or booking a performance, please contact me via the email in the ABOUT section

I am pleased to have VERTIGO DIGRESSION NO. 3 as part of the group exhibition, SEEDED, celebrating the launch of Video Pool's new POOLSIDE Gallery. Work will be on display Friday and Saturday.

Both Sides Now is an interactive video installation by Julie Gendron that is currently in development. I am creating complex layers of sound that will be triggered by audience members' presence, specific to one of two videos. The layers need to be interesting in their own right, but must also be able to work compositionally with every sound element in either video, triggered at random times.

The piece is about each individual’s struggle with inevitable change–inertia–accompanied with the ongoing internal discomfort displayed through hopeless and awkward control mechanisms.

Julie and I will be presenting another iteration of don't, stop at the FISH FACTORY CREATIVE CENTRE in Stöðvarfjörður East Iceland.
