My practice, when associated to engagement and community, has always been a means of experimenting with the unknown and the uncertainty of other musicians, performers, and presences (friends), and I want to continue my personal practice following graduation through collaboration and performance with my friends based in New York. Roughly this looks like composing music for a conglomerate of various visual contexts including short films, fashion shows and events, installations, and in live playing contexts. One of the new events that I would like to regularly incorporate into my weekly practice is playing in live settings. Because of how overwhelmingly busy I was this past year and a half, I have not been able to play live for audiences. One thing my friends and I want to do in New York, when I move there, is to host live events whether in a rented space or our living room, reaching out to various communities, contexts, and practices to structure new artist communities in spite of practice, interest, or day job. Local buzz through flyers and word of mouth will hopefully bring a diverse and engaged crowd. I will also push to utilize the network my friends and younger sister have made through Parsons School of Design in New York to host larger events and collective style gathers for artists and performers.

I have always utilized social media to share and expose my work however, I want to start to delve into more public audio-visual installations. This will include experimentation around the presentation, disposability, and placement of works. I am currently investigating cheap screen / speaker devices that I could potentially utilize for a series of abstract films I want to ‘litter’ around New York – displaying one of my portfolio works (BRÜN) both audibly and visually – focusing on the use of abstract animation. I have recently been incredibly inspired by Francis Alÿs’s “Paradox of Praxis 1” (Sometimes Making Something Leads to Nothing). The disposing of the artifact becomes the piece, and with proper documentation I do really love the idea of having a work so public that eventually someone takes it and almost consumes it entirely as their own. This is very contrary to the setting I will most likely be working in (audio post production for film) and this contrast is a means of expression as well as balance in my own reflection and personal development.
