"near and far"
"near and far" is an interactive sound and light installation consisting of a 14.2 wall of speakers, a set of three pull-string lamps, various sensors, and various furniture. Movement around the space is sonified and the changing soundscape is controllable via combinations of the three lamps on-off state.

It took a week or so to formulate the concept and execute. The speaker array utilizes cheap, lightweight, and affordable Logitech speakers (meant for home surround sound TV applications) affixed to a suspended wooden frame with custom 3d-printed mounts. The light array uses 12V DC lightbulbs with photoresistors attached to detect on/off. The distance sensor and photoresistors interface with a Teensy via breadboards and send MIDI note on/off and controller data to a Max/MSP patch, in which the core of the composition was produced.

I make interactive audiovisual experiences reimagining how we listen to and engage with music. Recently I have been crafting immersive websites for my own music and collaborating with other artists to do the same. I have experience with developing audio plugins and applications as well as programming embedded devices to make standalone hardware musical instruments.
