Most of my work was a result of necessity, like an empty space , a dark corner or a silent sculpture. I like making use of discarded objects.

• The Midi Controller
• Jadu Beta: A Sound Sculpture
• Silent Melodies
• Asterisks
• The Tabernacle

After 2 years of using ableton live as our performance tool; the lack of a simple midi controller got the best of me, and I set out to develop the ultimate midi controller. Most controllers on the market were cheaply made, using bad parts that didn't have the right feel. I collaborated with Gadi to boil down the bare essentials of mixing, and present it in a high quality, convenient package. The result was stunning.

Midi controllers are actually pretty easy! I used the Deopfer pocket as the brains, and spent the extra time I would have wasted on circuit design finding the perfect controls.

A collaboration between Wolf + Lamb & Saul Melman, Jadu Beta's sound sculpture was a audio diary embedded in a 200' inflatable sculpture installed in the Black Rock City desert at Burning Man in 2004. Using NI Reaktor I wrote an application that utilized an octophonic sound space which fused 2 random parts of Lamb's musical score and snippets of live recording done during the duration of construction providing visitors with a penetrating look into the work and art hidden within.

A wall of melodies, each with their often hauntingly bizarre lyrics written from bottom up arranged on a raised frame lightly backlit. A piano roll is the media used to operate the player piano or pianola, band/fairground organs, calliopes and hand-cranked organs.

The materials were rescued from an old movie theater in upstate new york prior to it's demolition to make way for a Payless shoes store.

Completed: March 2005
Materials: 17 Piano Rolls, Wood, Spackling Tape, Staples, Rope Light

A star shaped chandelier made out of 2 sides of the same 35 mm film rewinding reel. Keeping it as simple as possible, I used the suspension cable and the steel wheel as the common side, leaving the hot wires as the only additional material. Simple exit sign tube bulbs with long filaments seem to give it a 1940's test tube feel.

Based on Marcy Rye's Aletheic, which used a grid of 64 LEDS, Tabernacle uses a grid of 256 LEDs, daisy-chained off of four MAX7219 LED driver chips, a sonar sensor to detect the approach of passersby, and a Basic Stamp microchip.

My first crack at building art in Burning Man, very educational!

Completed: August 2003
