Director/Writer/Cinematographer

Visual Software
A set of personal image processing techniques I created using OpenFrameworks and GLSL shaders based on cellular automata. This set of techniques was used for many of my exhibited works as well as several performances, especially in collaboration with Lemon Guo. Pieces include Solstice, Untitled, Blood, Not Fog, and much of the imagery on this website.
The basic structure of the program is open-source and free to use and is available here from my github.
Music
Music digitally synthesized with RTcmix based off of harmonic ratios. These waves are then distorted very slightly to microtonal variations, which creates difference tones which gave the piece its mood and rhythm. The drone is supplemented by notes tuned to the 2nd mode of the Byzantine tuning for chants.
Application
Interactive Music App released on the App Store for iPhone. Made using RTcmix under the guidance of Brad Garton at the Computer Music Center at Columbia Univeristy. Download here.
