Hi! I'm a musician, game developer, and researcher especially interested in creating new musical experiences. Currently I am with the Opera of the Future group at the MIT Media Lab.
I recently wrote and developed Yi and the Thousand Moons, a short video game musical featuring a full cast and live band.
I also make music with Dominique Star, Morningsiders, and Big House Publishing. Previously I was involved with Sunhouse, Amper Music, and Dances.
Here are a few projects of mine (more projects here):
Yi and the Thousand Moons - a short video game musical
Runaway Reverie - an interactive song and 3D platformer game
Seasons (季节) (with Dominique Star) - an interactive song/poem for inkJam 2018
AMAI (with Rosalind Picard and Yan Liu) - adaptive music for affect improvement
Emotionally Intelligent Music Playback (with Hane Lee)
Fibonacci Stretch - stretching audio along the Fibonacci sequence
Dedications - an album of personalized songs
meSing.js - a JavaScript singing synthesizer
