1. The (unfinished) Ballad of Adam and Elena Emery (2012)
large-scale, multimedia, evening-length performance and installation piece, 13 performers, video projections, audio/video/data processing (Arduino and Max/MSP/Jitter protocols) fabric, 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.

Moons of Jupiter is a collaboration between artists Kevin Gilmore and Jacob Richman and astronomer Scott MacNeill. It combines acoustic and electronic music, live processed video and telescope imagery, and scientific presentation to explore the unique qualities and astounding environments of the worlds that orbit Jupiter. My role was composing music, performing on the bass, and creating the video used in the performance.
