This is an example of the interdisciplinary work I'm making now: live, improvised music made in relationship to movement and image. Here I'm responding in real time to a dance film I'd never seen before — voice, pedal steel, synths, beats, electronics, built in the moment. In addition to traditional composition for dance and film, I'm interested in sound that doesn't accompany a body so much as share the room with it. I’m interested in creating a live relationship between sound, body, image, and space.

This is an improv set for a livestream that I did while watching a film I found on YouTube. I hadn’t seen the film before. I just found it that night and thought it’d be fun to respond to, so I improvised to it on a livestream.

It runs long; the timestamps below point to where I'd start. (The most interesting moments are in part 1 and part 2):
