SoundMind featured in new book
From 2016 to 2019, I led somewhere north of 15 iterations of SoundMind — a workshop that combined meditation, sensory awareness, and aesthetic activation of the breath, body, and voice. Individually, in pairs, and as a group, participants explored resonance and vibration through touching, listening, and collaborative creation. Though I had the opportunity to present…

New songs, new shows, new format
2019 has been a year when I have really returned to songs and songwriting, probably my first important creative outlet. I think I wrote down my first songs when I was in 3rd or 4th grade — part of a planned musical exploring the “offstage” antics of two weasels, minor characters in The Wind in the…

Cave Music!
Pursuing a longstanding and intensifying interest in reverberant space and natural resonance, I made the trek across the Vermont border to perform in this spectacular series earlier this summer, and was rewarded with a lovely recording of myself playing alto sax atop a pile of rubble in an underground lake. I’m on cut 4.

Article out in Leonardo Music Journal
Excited to report that an article I wrote inspired by my work with the Universal Language Orchestra has just come out in Leonardo Music Journal, which happens to be one of my absolute favorite scholarly/creative publications, helmed as it is by the oft-imitated by ultimately inimatable Nicolas Collins. My article: Experimental Music with Young Novices: Politics and Pedagogy.

Documentation from Horizontal Sounds at Columbia U
If you happened by Teacher’s College, Columbia University on Sat 3/28/15, you would have had the pleasure of seeing the debut of the Adam Tinkle Mystic-Civic Participation Pressure Group, my new project exploring the collision of post-AACM free improvisation, electroacoustic sound/noise art, and the broad-based participatory strategies of Cardew’s Scratch Orchestra and Pauline Oliveros’ Sonic…

They Shoot Lasers, Don’t They?: Electronic Music Theatre with Instruments of In(ter)ferometry
On February 9th, 2015, Joe Mariglio and I trekked up from San Diego to Palo Alto to premiere our new performance piece, “They Shoot Lasers, Don’t They?,” at the beautiful CCRMA stage on the Stanford campus. The proper two-camera documentation of the whole thing is forthcoming, but I wanted to just share some early photos,…
