The Other: A Maze (TOAM) • My virtual-reality quasi-videogame challenges players to make their way through a maze of disorienting social-media overloads, Covid outbreaks, dehumanizing telephone help-desk bots, consumerism “assaulting” them at every corner, and more. Social justice and tolerance are promoted in a non-preachy manner. I was fortunate to have talented graduate students assist me in building-out the environment.

MelanchoLalaland • My transmedia opera! Well, it’s the 21st century, time to re-invent opera, but in a way that’s more fun, less pretentious, and a little messed up. MelanchoLalaland fuses live singers and dancers in a real-time mix with videoed and animated performers and settings with, as always, my original electronic music.

mNotation™ Software Overview • This is my online algorithmic music-notation generator. Using it, any number of performers (of any instrument or vocal range) can participate in a virtual or live space, performing musical notation as it appears in real-time on their laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Tempi are coordinated (or not!) with a built-in metronome. This particular ensemble perform via real-time instructions they hear over their headphones, played on their smartphones or other .mp3 player (filmed and incorporated into a video wall in a gallery).
