CheezHQ Status May 2010
This is a little side project that I've been tinkering with in my free time, inspired by Panic's status board. Right now it can display a number of different metrics,show/hide things and update in real-time. There's still so much more I want to do with it. It uses a lot of -webkit / CSS3 stuff, so Chrome and Safari are the best way to display it at the moment. The font is League Gothic, from the League of Movable Type.
D'ACCORD June 2008
D'accord is an exploration on space and time, realized through the performance and manipulation of a reed instrument. Returning to a neglected and broken accordion as both a musical source and inspiration, the piece attempts to reach a compositional and musical agreement, exploring beauty in the dissonance and disrepair of an instrumental organism.
