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
AMAI (with Rosalind Picard and Yan Liu) - adaptive music for affect improvement
Fibonacci Stretch - stretching audio along the Fibonacci sequence
Dedications - an album of personalized songs
Geneva - an interactive tweet sonification using genetic algorithms
meSing.js - a JavaScript singing synthesizer
Banff Blues - a jazz rhythm+form exploration tool inspired by my time at Banff
Sync Etudes - rhythm synchronization mini-games
Some videos of me performing:
Steps - live at Sofar Sounds with audience participation via smartphone
Morningsiders - Audiotree Live - 6-song broadcast from Chicago
Dances - Rat! - music video with some nice drum-syncing
Drum Set/Google Chrome improvisation - using 4tr4k
