The Beating Heart
Presented at TIAT, as part of the Mozilla Foundation Creative Futures Counterstructures Residency (December 2025 - January 2026)
The Beating Heart is a sound installation that translates sonic vibration into visible, physical motion. The work consists of a framed sheet of mylar, a focused red light, a subwoofer, and a microphone connected to a real-time machine-learning system. Gestures on the microphone are captured and transformed into low-frequency impulses that travel through the subwoofer, agitating the mylar surface. As the membrane trembles, it reflects light into shifting caustic patterns on the wall, producing the illusion of a breathing, pulsing heart animated entirely by sound.
Rather than using AI to generate sound autonomously, the system functions as a responsive compositional partner, shaping feedback, delay, and transformation in real time. The red light expands and contracts as visitors fill the room and make contact with the microphone, transforming the space into a breathing organism.
Entre Deux Voix
Performed at Sonic Rodeo in Marfa, TX (2025)
Using a live microphone, computer, and speakers, the piece captures and reinjects sound into the space through controlled feedback loops. Fragments of the performer’s voice multiply, distort, and collide until they become an internal chorus. Each iteration of the piece is unique, shaped by the architecture of the room, the resonance of the voice, and the ritualistic gestures of the performance.
Langue Étrangère
Presented at ICMC, NYCEMF, Audio Mostly, and ICAD (2025)
This evocative electronic sound poetry piece explores the alienation of living between languages -- live electronics and video installation immerse the listener in a liminal space between communication and incomprehension. Processed voice samples and glitch aesthetics highlight the tension between meaning and loss, between words and their sonic residues.
Jeux D’eau
Presented at CCRMA Bing Concert
Jeux D’eau is a composition that blends live music with light-based performance, created in collaboration with designer Koh Terai. As the music unfolds, strands of light trace choreographic patterns, responding organically to the ebb and flow of sound. This pieces imagines a meeting between two intangible forces -- light and sound -- that swirl, clash, and converge in a fleeting dialogue, creating a dance without bodies, a duet without form.
