I had a great weekend last month in State College, PA, hearing my latest concert piece “groundwater” performed by my friend Kevin Sims’ group Open Music @openmusicpa
Written for voice, percussion, harp, yangqin, Yamaha DX-7 & contrabass, “groundwater” took inspiration from the photographs of environmental blight, and ultimately led me to the story of Love Canal - a Niagara Falls neighborhood built on top of an industrial waste dump that eventually experienced severe health impacts and a scandal in the late 1970s. The emboldened residents and community brought it to national attention and ultimately helped bring forth the 1980 Superfund Act as the first site.The text is sourced from interviews with residents at the time and morecently, as well as legal documents & company statements.
The piece was informed by the @acidhorizonpod Vintagia card deck - a retro-inspired reimagining of the I Ching. Similar to Eno’s Oblique Strategies, VIntagia is a deck of cards with the I Ching hexagrams, creative prompts, and beautiful archival photos from the 1970s U.S. EPA-funded collection “Documerica.” (Also a fascinating story in itself)
Thank you to Kevin, Open Music and Acid Horizon - it was a great hang!

My new EP “home” is available nowThese pieces have been a journey of wondering what “home” means - physically, culturally, personally, spiritually - as the world changes and time passes, connecting with forgotten parts of oneself that are always there.My hope is that they’re a little more direct and emotionally expressive.The tracks draw from a similar beat-driven electronica-meets-classical palette of my previous work but in a more distilled form.Seeking a space in between the dancefloor and bedroom headphones, the EP embraces custom software with uptempo fluttering glitch percussion & weathered atmospheric electronics, all beneath lushly notated string and horn orchestrations performed by live musicians, emphasizing emotional melodies and nostalgia.
The EP was created with the hope that we can all find a home when we need one.
Also be sure to check out the Atmos / Spatial Audio mixes on Apple Music and TIDAL.
Big, big thank you to everyone involved:
