Mountains among many others, and presented at venues such as Tonic, Issue Project
Room, Experimental Intermedia, Exit Art Gallery. He has also collaborated with
Rhys Chatham in the drone metal group Essentialist (Table of the Elements),
as well as performed in the ensembles of Phill Niblock, Rhys Chatham (alongside
Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Kim Gordon), Glenn Branca and Jonathan Kane. He
was a 2007 recipient of the Jerome Foundation Emerging Artists Commission through
Roulette Intermedium. Releases are forthcoming in 2008 for both Corridors and
Essentialist, along with a fall tour of the US with Alessandro Bosetti.
