It is recommended to listen to these pieces with headphones, as opposed to the built-in speakers of a computer.
Dear Diary [Into the Void], 2018
Each track of this short EP is created by typing up how I feel in a specific moment. Those words are translated from letters to MIDI notes in real time, and then the words cease to exist. They are not preserved anywhere, and I can never retrieve them. Instead, I take the remaining MIDI notes and build sonic vignettes as a way to redirect how I feel.

As a way to understand and process news and information that I consume via Twitter, I am searching for and collecting tweets around a theme or on a specific date when a level of disconnect resonates for me personally. I will then retype each tweet and record those keystrokes and convert them into MIDI notes. Those notes are then the backbone of my digital compositions.
