I created “Do something.” to capture the feeling of having performance anxiety. You’re told to “do something,” but have no instructions or concept of what to do, and you have to figure it out on your own. The controls randomize with each playthrough, so you can never truly know what you’re supposed to do.

Before film projection was a viable technology, the Kinetoscope became a popular sensation, introducing the spectacle of motion pictures to audiences one viewer at a time. This stereo-kinetoscope is an early prototype of what will become a self-contained device that highlights stereoscopic audiovisual work and emphasizes the spectacle of an early 20th-century kinetoscope parlour and the playfulness of a 1980s arcade.

Sync or Swim is an interactive sound installation that is also a simple audio game. The object of the game is to find the “sync point” of several melodic/rhythmic layers that are operating at slightly different tempi. Turning a knob on the interface changes the tempi of the various layers by slightly different amounts – and finding the “sweet spot” brings all layers into synchronization. The player must listen carefully to determine how far out of sync the layers are, to try to find the one point on the dial where the layers are in sync. Once the sync point is located, the sound will “bloom” after a few seconds, indicating that the sync point has been discovered. The player will then be presented with a new challenge. There are eight levels of challenges, and upon completing the final level, a special “piece” will emerge out of the final soundscape before the game resets back to level one. This piece is an examination of ways to create audio games that are also interactive sonic art works. The challenge was to create an aesthetic sound experience that the user can interact with, but that “reveals” itself to the listener as a game, opening up the possibility of changing the state of the composition in significant ways, and to discover the possibilities of the compositional variables. At its core, it is a simple algorithmic sound piece that is made up of a series of looping patterns that are randomly generated and juxtaposed, within specific aesthetic characteristics.
Touching A Cactus is a meditation on physical/virtual desire and consequences (or lack thereof). Set within the context of forty real cacti, the virtual environment is a loop of five interactive vignettes: a series of experienced metaphors. The environment features an 80-line poem that appears in different permutations throughout the piece, making each run through the loop a unique experience.
