I am a musician and artist from the midwest United States. I play bass and write music with saajtak and Lovely Socialite.
I love to compose for and improvise with dancers and other artists. For the past five years have been in Detroit, MI, performing improvised music, and developing immersive theater and performance art works. Notably with the troupe Nerve, under the direction of transgressive novelist Kathe Koja.
My collaboration with dancers has given me a concept of motion that inspired me to teach myself to animate. Working primarily in frame-by-frame animation combined with mixed media elements, I've now worked as an animator, director, and editor on numerous projects. My music video for the band Throwaway's "I Work!" was selected for the 58th Ann Arbor Film Festival. In fall of 2019, I presented my animations in a 10-city tour of Japan with Throwaway.
My solo project subatlantic songs is a theatrical performance for solo amplified double bass and voice. It has been in performative development since 2015, taking shape through gradual distillation of improvised material and staging limitations, including an imposing egret mask sculpted by Ann Arbor artist Mary Perrin. Notable performances include Cleveland's Re:Sound Festival, and Detroit's Strange Beautiful Music.
