Site Derived Electro Acoustic Performance commissioned by Composer Nathan Felix
Asked to create a sound piece by composer Nathan Felix for the Imperial China Wing of the San Antonio Museum of Art. Used commercial flower pots as the sound source, then processed their sounds through the modular synthesizer. Duration was two 15 min. performances.

Site derived sound piece for the Visitors Center
Think of this space as graph paper. It is neutral and cold so that it can clearly chart the buzzing lines of this sound/memory collision. This installation is a three dimensional audio collage made up of Stardust, Prom Songs and Heartbeats. The Stardust resonating against the cymbal and flowing from the center of the room is brewed from recordings of comets and winds circulating in our solar system. Solar System songs so strange that they can only be reproduced through a NASA telescope stylus. The Prom songs vibrating the musical wire are pulled down from the aether and channeled into Santo and Johnny’s timeless steel guitar recordings. Finally, the anticipatory heartbeats thumping in the hall are being squeezed out between the rattles of my own chest.

Portable Columbia GP-3 Plastic Turntable, Bobby McFerrin Record.
Monday morning after a holiday weekend, I sat downtown and quietly played Bobby McFerrin’s: “Don’t Worry Be Happy” for salarymen and women going to work in an effort to use Pop Music’s inherent hooks to subliminally alter these men and women’s day for the better.
