| food factory:
Food factory's inspiration came out of found sound.
I purchased an old reel to reel that ended up having
a recording of an accountant's bookkeeping. I sliced

na 4 expanded: Expanding
elements is something that I cannot resist. I love
to take a composition and stretch it out and loop
it around and cut it up and make new things. 2003

paper pump: Some objects have
such inheren02 t beauty in their sounds. I was attracted
to this beautiful old metal air pump and a large
websters dictionary and their potentials for compositions.
Sometimes the simplest things can be instigators.

| moth: The inspiration for moth
came about when I found a relatively large moth trapped
in a metal can. The sounds it was making with its
wings on the tin were reminiscent of a tabla. I recorded
the sound and explored it by composing and manipulating.

na" appeared around the time of "my name

its simplicity and length. 2002

hand made instruments and the computer. These pieces
