sound artist / ecooacoustic composer, improvising cellist / trustee, advisor, consultant

Through listening walks, I observe the coalescence of elemental difference — Light to water, water to land, the soil/ mycelium to trees, the minerals and species of the ocean floor in the dark, to the surface wave patterns of water, illuminated by subaqueous light. Through attunement to the currents and wave patterns water, I experience an expression of time, and a sonic ontology of water. I offer listening walks and deep listening sonic experiences, compose intermedia works, to draw experiential sensory awareness to the ocean this planet is. My practice is a reciprocal devotion to water. I am beginning new research in collaboration with filmmaker Philippe Léonard at the place in the Fleuve St Laurent where saline water transforms to fresh water, and beings live in both worlds.
