I am one half of Oo-PS, a collaborative research & design practice working across scales to produce narrative-driven artwork, writing, music & objects as ways of anticipating sets of future socio-environmental challenges & designing theoretical methods to meet them.

I write, record, produce & occasionally perform music under the alias Shrinking Violet, a project that modulates between ambient, dreampop & indie rock in an effort to create music about memory, distance & uncertainty.

Atmospheres For Windhover
Stanford, CA
Ambient Live Performance Atmospheres for Windhover was a one-time live ambient performance of three thirty-minute sound pieces that I composed specifically for the Windhover Contemplative Center at Stanford, designed by Aidling Darling Design. It was the first & only solo performance to take place at the Center.

Although certain aspects of each piece were written in order to reflect the architectural & spatial characteristics of the building, many of the tones, sonic artifacts & noises that made up the soundscapes were left to chance & were affected by the space, while some sections were improvised altogether.
