I am originally from New York. I am graduate of the Conservatory of Music at Brooklyn College, The City University of New York and later I received my M.A. degree from Dartmouth College.


After working briefly at iEar studios of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy. NY, I moved to Seoul, Korea for many years. There, I taught computer music at the Seoul Institute of the Arts and collaborated with the Sadari Movement Lab.


I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Composition and Music Technologies at The University of Virginia, where I study with Judith Shatin and Matthew Burtner. I previously studied with Charles Dodge, Curtis Bahn, Noah Creshevsky, Larry Polansky, Jon Appleton, and Christian Wolff. None these people deserve any blame for my music, but please, go ahead and blame them anyway.


I am also a member of the performance trio Pinko Communiods (with Wendy Hsu and Carey Sargent).


Some areas of interest include:

        Computer music and computer music performance, musique concrète, tuning and timbre, American

        experimental music, popular musics, and Korean musics, and improvisation.


If you would like to know more about me, take me to lunch, or give me large sums of money, I can be reached via e-mail or at the snail mail address on the contact page.


I maintain another site, which is more frequently updated at:
