1.Materials for the installation Transduction included old computer monitors, eight-track amplifiers, and speakers modified to send vibrations into water contained in plastic drum skins. The idea of translating sound across mediums was explored. Sounds were composed directly for the sculptures, creating many subtle variations in the light emitted from the monitors, and the vibrations created in the water. Created collaboratively with Dorion Berg.
2.Dome Module used scrap wood, off cuts from a box factory, and used truck shocks to create an interactive sculpture that references the idealistic architecture of 1960's Montreal. Created collaboratively with Thomas Begin.
3.My ongoing radiophonic project, entitled micro radio, uses a site-specific approach to creating sound art. This involves collecting sounds from a given area, and using these sounds in compositions that are broadcast within the sites that they have been collected. The most recent performance was at the Deep Wireless Festival in Toronto, 2009.

4.My ongoing collaboration with Jackson Two Bears has resulted in several sound performances that took place at Open Space, Music in the Wires Symposium, and Interactive Futures. Our work is included in the Errant Bodies publication Radio Territories.

5.Lower Bay Station, Torontos Ghost Station, was used as a vessel to contain sounds that are within and below the threshold of human hearing infrasound and tactile sound where sound is felt rather than heard. The attendees experienced a composition created with prerecorded sounds of the subway. These sounds vibrated the train cars and ceiling of the abandoned lower bay station, in an eight piece poly-rhythmic composition. Over 10 000 people experienced this installation, which received a Peoples Choice Award from Scotia Bank Nuit Blanche.

6.Construction Machine is a piece that I was commissioned to create for the Vancouver Co-op Radio/CRES Media Arts Committee CD. The piece is completely comprised of recordings collected from construction sites around Vancouver.

8.Sound Exploration Walks with the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Cortes Island Community Association in the summer of 2009. The walks that I have coined "sound exploration" use custom made microphones, which can be attached to objects along the walk, to hear the interior sounds of these objects and turn them into instruments.
