I am a guitarist, and composer based in Los Angeles, where I am currently persuing my DMA at the California Institute of the Arts. My work is based on improvisation, and new compositional models, performer/composer practice, works for guitar, group settings, and sound installations.

 

I am a founding member of the Third Guy duo, which explores a band setting as a compositional platform. At the core of that collaboration is constant collaboration with other artists, and exploring boundaries between improvisation, and composition as well as music and other artistic media. I am also a founding member of the Paris based group Replicant with saxophone which engagagers in collective composition processes based on rules, interaction strategies, and formal approaches. I am aslo a member of the Brussels-based contemporary music ensemble Ictus, and the London-based ensemble PlusMinus.

 

 

As a performer, composer or both I have presented my work at festivals and venues around Europe, South America and United States such as Musica festival Strasbourg, Klangspuren festival Innsbruck, Cafe Oto, Spectrum NYC, Rhizome DC Washington, Metelkova Ljubljana, the Venice Biennale etc. 

 

I’ve released music on labels Zavod Sploh, Migro records, Roam, and Inexhaustible Editions, which includes my original work as well as music by composers Michael Maierhof, Vinko Globokar, Juan Camilo Vasquez, Michael Pisaro-Liu, and Peter Ablinger among others.
