Tollan: Mexican Works for Oboe album
It was a great pleasure to work with UNT album Jonathan Thompson on his first album as a mixing engineer, particularly since the music is all new compositions for oboe.

Landscape: Ghost (Home)
Landscape: Ghost (Home) is a recomposition of Landscape: Home for the Ghost Ensemble. This is another step in the ongoing interest I have to create a mimetic version of Haruki Murakami’s “over there” or “other world” in sound and image. I wrote a paper concerning this, “Mimesis, Murakami, and Multimedia Art: Parallel Worlds in Performance,” that was presented at the 40 Years of Murakami conference at Newcastle University, UK and published in Leonardo Music Journal.
Yuki Shuffle
I had a lot of fun making a video jazz jam (featuring my dog, Yuki) after classes went online in spring 2020. I recorded using a webcam, a dynamic mic, and Logic Pro X and did all of the audio and video editing inside of Premiere Pro.

Article in Leonardo Music Journal
I’m pleased to share that my article “Mimesis, Murakami and Multimedia Art: Parallel Worlds in Performance” has been published in volume 29 of Leonardo Music Journal (MIT Press).
https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/lmj_a_01059
Abstract:
The artistic techniques of mimesis—the representation of reality in art—make it possible to “render the unreal familiar or the real strangely unfamiliar.” The author, a composer and intermedia artist, uses mimetic techniques in acoustic composition, video art and field recording to reimagine everyday experience, as in his multimedia piece Landscape: Home. The author analyzes passages from the novel Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami to understand Murakami’s use of “parallel worlds” and the “reality effect.” This literary analysis aims to highlight the potential of mimetic techniques for artistic practice in sound and image, particularly in the author’s Landscape series.
