About

I make sound interactive, and sometimes musical. My work explores new ways to interact with sound by building digital musical instruments and musical robots — installations where the line between audience and performer stops mattering, and anyone who walks up can play.

I came to this sideways: electrical engineering at CU Boulder, seven years designing chips at Xilinx, then a master's in Music, Science and Technology at Stanford's CCRMA, and a PhD at CU's ATLAS Institute on scaffolded design tools for interactive music. The engineering never went away; it just started serving the music.

Teaching

I teach and develop courses at the ATLAS Institute (CU Boulder) and Inworks (CU Denver) — Creative Technology, Physical Computing, Internet of Things, Digital Fabrication, Human Centered Design — plus workshops for makers from about age eight through adult. Hands-on, learn-by-doing, share and critique.

B.E.A.T.

In 2019 I founded Boulder Experiments in Art and Technology, a community for people working at the intersection of art, technology, and science. We meet, share what we are building, and occasionally put on a show.
