I started my career as a songwriter in predominantly queer spaces. Gradually, I moved towards a broader sonic and creative practice, incorporating new technologies in collaboration with choreographers and visual artists. I’ve lent my voice to award-winning narratives of Bill T. Jones, Shana Moulton, Miguel Gutierrez, and Ishmael Houston-Jones and have presented projects in NYC at the Museum of Modern Art, Lincoln Center, Park Avenue Armory, New Museum, the Whitney, The Kitchen, PERFORMA/Town Hall, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Hayden Planetarium, NYU Skirball, Roulette, ISSUE Project Room, New York Live Arts, Danspace, Joe’s Pub, and many other independent and commercial spaces. As a cultural producer, I engage history as a tool to build community, exemplified by the the annual NYC concert of Terry Riley’s In C, ongoing since 2005, as Music Director for a decade-long revival of the Joshua Light Show, and as curator of live art at the NYC AIDS Memorial. Researching and bringing into sound the legacies of LGBTQ+ artists whose lives were cut short by HIV and AIDS—Arthur Russell and John Bernd among them—is a throughline of my practice. I currently teach at Eugene Lang College at The New School and the School for Visual Arts.
