My electronic collage music often plays a game with personal history. Since 1996, I have recorded and produced many pieces as a solo performer, including a large catalog of rock music from my teens. Most of my electronic music samples these recordings to create complexly structured new pieces. Moments of the past "worth remembering" are redefined, transformed, and recontextualized so they may be enjoyed anew without the confusion and aesthetic errors which originally surrounded them. The result is more recorded music, but the process is one of improvising with "composed" moments.
Examples:
Teenage Daydreams (in progress)
Everything Will Make Sense Given Time
