Choose Your Own AUDIO Adventure
How will you be remembered? Will you be remembered at all? If you make the right decisions, can you make your legacy be what you want it to be? In this Choose Your Own Adventure story, seemingly innocuous decisions can have far-reaching effects that determine how future generations think of you.
This story is much like a video game, but instead of trying make the right decisions to avoid your character's death, in this game death is a certainty. Rather, the goal of this game will be to make your obituary read the way you want it to read.

Conversation Pieces
A new composition for a quartet of immersive sound chairs, exploring social interaction (the string quartet as a model and metaphor) and harmonious experience, even in the context of dissonant musical textures. Dissonance becomes expressive, the tactile sound chair becomes the medium.
