CHIEF RECORDING ENGINEER @ UC SAN DIEGO
Since 2024 I have worked for UC San Diego’s Department of Music as “a high-level research supporter and practitioner who serves the UCSD Music Department faculty and advanced student constituency as an expert in all aspects of recording and live audio.” In this role I mentor, supervise, and assist with faculty and graduate research projects; ensure that all Department of Music concerts and events are recorded at the highest fidelity; and work to create innovative and durable archiving solutions for the department’s vast archive of historically significant materials.
A key function of this role is, through experimentation and research, to stay on top of the latest trends in recording, mixing, mastering, and diffusion/playback technology.
CALIFORNIA GRID
A large scale project in which I use field recordings, photography, and written text to document a grid of points covering the state of California. This work is currently still in progress, however materials from this project have been presented as research papers and installation pieces at the Sound of Memory Symposium (Goldsmiths, London), Space Time Art (San Diego), the Sound and Environment Symposium (Newcastle University), and Monash University (Melbourne, Australia).
