Moments before Seth Rogen is killed, his assistant delivers a mysterious message to a pair of young classicists at an academic conference. This message, a baffling riddle hidden inside Who’s On First, sets them on a trail of clues, hidden in famous works of comedy, that will deliver them to one of the best-kept secrets in history… and unimaginable power.2019

What a critic said about the play
Made with my theatre troupe group
I like to start with field recordings from my h5 or h6 zoom, and then add sound synthesis to augment what was happening naturally.
Two best friends, Michael and Jack, create two sims that look just like them, also named Michael and Jack. Those two sims, in turn, create two new sims that look just like them but are more talented and attractive.
Sim Jack wants to work on his charisma but is forced to play chess all day. Sims’ sim Jack is incredibly popular and loved by all. Sim Michael wants to work on his music but is forced to join the army. Sims’ sim Michael is a tele-flute virtuoso.
Meanwhile, strange things start to happen. Sims are trapped in pools when the pool ladders disappear. The sims discover a torture chamber where a bunch of sims have to paint for their lives. Will the sims get to the bottom of the mystery? Will they survive? Will they ever learn the horrible truth that underlies all of their lives?

FMMTB explores how ritualistic aspects of womanhood shape - and are shaped by - the modern world. Basic computer vision is applied to detect the continuous forms - ‘blobs’ - of the dancers. The computer loosely follows them throughout their ritual - they are a discrete system of order amongst noise.
This piece was performed at the Stanford GRID - a 30’ x 30’ laser grid with a waterfall for video projection. The project was set up in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Lyrically a mantra == hybrid between a chorus and verse
I wrote the lryics and got my friends to sing/rap a mantra that repeats, but is slightly different each time.
(SBGC - Lyrics)
You'll need a lighter to hire me
she aspire to conquer perspire till you retire
she think in code on computer
she walking you stalker she feeling you heeling
at uni barely breaking even
but breaking glass ceiling

I ran a weekly late night radio show for 3 quarters at Stanford, right after the Palo Alto city council city meetings. The show sounds kind of like life, the musical. A journey into my sound library, with recordings and music made mostly by myself and friends. The following are some of the episodes I ran:
^^ Radio Intro Visual for my show pale blue dawt, with my friend James Tanner. That’s me in the background swimming out to a seal.
Visuals ↑ && ↓ made in inkscape, illustrator, and VDMX
^^ Calm piano to study to
^^ Made this backround music for an audio piece my friends Ted and Gus made together about dreams.
Recorded ‘new family’ at my first family reunion for a week, then made music around the tape! 💾
This track song started with a photo actually. I scanned my sister’s sonogram of Mila (whom has now been born) into a MAX/MSP patch and got MIDI out of it. Then I looped a part of the midi I liked and assigned it to a keyboard, and turned it into a trap song. The vocals I rap are from the perspective of not being born yet, not necessarily wanting to be born(to this universe), and all the implications that that follows. This is the instrumental version with my sister while she was pregnant.
imagine for a moment you haven’t been born yet. but you’re alive. What would that sound like?

Each git command gets a OS track made for them. For example if you need to push your code, hit play on the track git push -u origin master and then type that command. It’s fun. github.center shutdown as of 2018

Aquariums are sweet, but they take a lot of maintenance. You have to feed the stupid depressed fish, clean the tank, and deal with death. Yada yada. I wanted to make an aquarium of the 21st-century.
