My digital soundscapes are created using "avant-garde" compositional methods, including:

- Network-based synthesis.
- Aleatoric MIDI generators.
- Non-standard instrument tunings.
- Microtonal scales.
- Heavily processed samples from the real world.
- Psycho-active acoustics.

Where traditional composers employ an additive construction method (i.e., begin with an idea - a riff, or perhaps a chord progression, then proceed to add melody, harmony, rhythm, etc....), I take the opposite route. My subtractive method begins by generating a large and broad block of sound, and then proceeding to sculpt away the unwanted parts. I spend a a lot of time working with the mathematics of sounds and images.
