Windeye is a setting of a short story by author Brian Evenson for video and solo violinist/vocalist. Through her performance, we are presented with the fading and distorted childhood memory of a sister who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The piece was commissioned by NYC-based violinist and vocalist Andie Tanning and released on her 2018 audio-visual album Dandelion, and screened at the Pittsburgh Horror Film Fest in 2019.

large-scale multimedia performance and installation piece, 13 performers, video projection, audio/video/data processing (Arduino and Max/MSP/Jitter protocols) cloth, motors, electronics The (unfinished) Ballad of Adam and Elena Emery is an evening-length, multimedia performance piece based on a Rhode Island murder story from 1990. It is a performance setting of fragmented details of this tragic event for four dancers, nine musicians, and multiple interactive multimedia installations staged in various rooms of a five-story church in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. It is a “roving performance” in which the audience and performers freely move between installation spaces and performance scenes scattered throughout the building.

3.Bud's Dream (2023 on-going)
interactive light, digital media, and kinetic sculpture installation project Bud's Dream is an interactive light, kinetic sculpture, and digital media installation in development.
It presents a dim room that visitors can enter. Their presence is detected by various sensors, and light, sound, and motion elements react to their presence, movement, and noises they make. This reaction is subtle at first, but grows to have a personality, guided by the visitors' movements and sounds, but also by the system's own machine learning algorithm. First presentation at Constellations Show (presented by CETI Institute ceti.institute/about/) at the PDX Winter Light Festival (pdxwlf.com/), Fairborz Maseeh Hall,, Portland State University, Portland, Oregon. February 3-4, 2023 4. Tenderloin Opera Company (on-going collaboration)

5. Meridian Project (on-going collaboration)
multimedia performance and science collaboration, music composition/performance, video projections Meridian Project is an ongoing collaboration between musicians, visual artists, and scientists whose goal is to present topics of cosmology, astronomy, and astrophysics in unique audio-visual performances that blend the scientific concepts with new music and imagery in a way that is informative, engaging, and fun. Our performances take place in locations that reflect this mix of science, art, and wonder. These include planetariums, observatories, and outdoors under the stars. This performance was at the Cormack Planetarium in Providence, RI. My role in the collaboration is as co-composer, musician, and producer of various video content and experimental projections based on the performance venue.
