Audio Dream Journal
Medium: audio

Audio Dream Journal is a sound piece created by recording and transposing my brain wave activity while I was sleeping. I used Max/MSP to trigger sound events depending on the frequency of the sensor activity. I used 3 sensors with a head band to an iCubeX box to a MIDI interface and then finally to my computer. The patch I created in Max/MSP was able to register the information and create sound events depending on the frequency of the sensors.

Laguna Mix
Medium: audio

The Laguna Mix is composed of field recordings from the 2008 MotoGP World Championship that were manipulated in Sony Sound Forge. The composition attempts to imitate how sound waves are transformed into nerve impulses, the vibrations of bones within the ear, and the intense energy formed by sounds at Laguna Seca.

Feedback Layers
Medium: audio

This piece was created while experimenting with audio feedback. With a 3.5mm jack in the audio out of a video camera connected to the output of a mini amplifier I created tones with my body movement.
