I am an experimental artist and theorist living in Minneapolis. My work centers music composition, durational performance, text, and improvisation, with emphases on silence, indeterminacy, and the social. I perform and improvise on guitar, sine tone generator, and the no-input mixing board. I often play with the ensemble Ordinary Affects and collaborate with the Wandelweiser Group and Mobius Artists Group. I've had the good fortune to work with and learn from a range of experimental artists and thinkers. The friendships formed and influence these people have had on my thinking and music have been enormous. I co-direct the Co-Incidence Festival with aaron foster breilyn and am ABD in Comparative Studies in Discourse & Society at UMN, working on a dissertation entitled A Philosophy of Silence: Experimentalism, Music, and Collectivity.
