Sound designer specializing in wave field synthesis and sound holograms. Professor @ UCSD Theatre & Dance.

I also make music for dance, podcasts, and at some point an album.
Maybe everyone was in my neighborhood. It was off the charts. Some houses had lines!

Every so often I mess around with pure data, just to remind myself that it's an option for a lot of stuff.

I take it wine isn't a reliable solution anymore?

Sure thing! I circle in this world a bit, so feel free to reach out any time.

Often groups like MW have in-house sound designers / creative engineers who work full time. They post hiring opportunities every so often. There was an open position at MW in 2023 if I remember correctly.

One time I dropped my phone on that controller during the 20-min blackout in AFTER. There was about a 90% chance of jumping to a lights-at-full scene and blinding the entire audience. I was very lucky. Non sequential interfaces are not for the faint of heart!

My god I recognized my 10-year old handwriting without even clicking on the photo. You know we use the same controller for ALL of the shows, right?

👀 What kind of synthesis?

I've only got 50% of twins up as of 6:44am

It's much much better here. Also, why did I not hear about lightning bolt?! I hope it was fun.

Looking good! This is your 16-ch wave field synthesis array, yeah? With the enclosed drivers?

Maybe all the other bands are playing Fri + Sat, and Sun is just one long Jesus Lizard set
