The Hydra is a gaming interface along the lines of the Nintendo Wii, but this one is magnetic. Unlike old-school magnetic interfaces I’ve used in the […]

An exciting collaboration between myself and the Hutchins Consort! I have created designs for Vivaldi’s famous set of concertos. I perform my animations live as the Consort plays the music. We first performed this for a private event a couple of months ago, and we’re looking forward to performing it again. We are planning on […]
Earlier in June, I gave the world premiere performance of my illustrations of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons with the Hutchins Consort. Together, we performed the entire set of concerti: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, totaling forty minutes of new live animated landscapes, flora, and fauna. I created a loose story structure for each of the Seasons […]
