I’ve never been to Argentina, and would love to visit this amazing country in the future. For now, I would have to travel vicariously through my music. On Sunday August 4, my Ambisonic work “Umbrae'' will be presented in Buenos Aires as part of their Cervantes Electroacustico Festival. Many thanks to the Festival for including my piece, it looks like a great line-up of electroacoustic and audiovisual works, with many familiar names in the program!

"Umbrae" was realized with extensive use of the Ambisonic Toolkit software and mixed at DXARTS - Center for Digital Art and Experimental Media 3D sound studios.

Any friends visiting Seoul on July 12-13? I am hearing from well-informed sources weather over there is currently cooler than in Seattle…

Two Ambisonic works from DXARTS will be performed as part of ICMC 2024 at the Hanyang University in Seoul - “ní nán” by Wei Yang (on July 13), and “Umbrae” by myself (on July 12).
Both pieces were realized with extensive use of the Ambisonic Toolkit (ATK) software package – which we wholeheartedly recommend.

If you guys have a moment (and brain power) to visit our Soundcloud – links to pieces are in the comments (thank you!!!).

Hey UW students, spread the word! We are offering another exciting Digital Arts course this Fall:

Cut, Copy, Paste - Montage and Appropriation in Digital Video.

Visiting Lecturer Stephanie Deumer presents a course exploring the theory, history, and practice of video montage and appropriation. Heavily focused on editing, students will remix, re-use, and recontextualize found and original footage, developing new video works from fragments. This course emphasizes the creation of new meaning through repetition and reconstruction, and considers today's diverse circulation of and access to moving imagery. Students will further develop their technical skills and understanding of non-linear, experimental digital video montage through projects, readings, screenings, and discussions.
