I am very excited to share this album I made with
Andrei Jay, titled: APPALACHIAN VORTEX TOUR. Near the end of
summer, we went on a camping road trip through the
Appalachians in search of caves, hollows, and other basins of
vortex energy in the forest. I brought my field recorder and
my shortwave radio, and Andrei brought two Volca FM
synthesizers, and we recorded a series of jams at various
locations along the way. We were able to pick up
electromagnetic interference within the shortwave bands from
the built-in amplifier circuits in the Volcas, making the
radio act as a kind of extra amplifier which added unique
distortions and textures.
The sounds of the environment also became part of the
recordings, so you can hear crickets, running water, wind,
other humans, natural reverb of stone and metal, and the
spatialized presence of the built-in speakers of the volcas,
intertwined with signals drifting in and out from shortwave
broadcasts.
The album art, a map of the vortexes we toured, was drawn
electronically and then plotted with a robotic drawing machine
in the expanded media department at Alfred University.

On June 1, we held the third edition of Télépresence at La
Lumière's collective space in Montreal. It was so lovely to
hang with my fellow video artists, and to perform as 1/2 of
Fugitive Dream Recovery
during the evening's a/v show. Here are some photos from
people's setups during the tabling portion, as well as the
performances.

On Friday, March 22, I did a set at Secret Project Robot in
Brooklyn, along with 5 other amazing solo a/v acts. This was
an exciting show for me because it brought together a group of
artists who each have a unique approach to audiovisual
performance. The show was co-organized by all the performers
around a visit from Helsinki-based artist and educator
Derek Holzer.
