sound and image reflect and complement one another. They are not ripped apart in life; only in art. I aim to put them back together.

freedom is paramount. I try to give each of my pieces breathing room and the ability to stay loose with its surroundings, whether this happens through interaction, spontaneity or algorithm. The balance between structure and freedom is an important element in all of my work.

noise can be thought of in relation to signal; that is, the opposite of abstraction. It is not necessarily sonic, but rather relates to information. Noise is complexity, specifics, detail. Because of noise, nothing is perfect. And everything has flavor.
