Hi, I’m Andrew, and this is my site. I’m a composer, percussionist, and media artist pushing the boundaries of what’s possible when technology interfaces with live performance environments.
My research explores the intersections of percussion, 3D environments, graphics programming, and creative software development, spanning everything from the design of musical performance hardware to the development of networked platforms and digital infrastructure. My work has been performed and presented around the world, including venues such as Google Cultural Lab (Paris), the University of Brasília, City University of Hong Kong, STEIM (Amsterdam), Gray Area Center for the Arts, and the National Conservatory of Music and Dance (Lyon), among others.
My work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Knight Foundation, and the Soundwave Biennial, and is part of the University of North Texas Permanent Collection. I received a Bachelor’s in Music in Percussion Performance from the University of Denver Lamont School of Music, a Master of Fine Arts in New Media Art from the University of North Texas, and a PhD in Music Composition from the University of California, Berkeley working closely with the Center for New Music and Audio Technology (CNMAT). I’m an Associate Professor and Area Coordinator of the Computers in Art, Design, Research, and Education (CADRE) Media Labs at San José State University. My current work explores how the design of instruments, software, and digital infrastructure can create new possibilities for artistic expression, collaboration, and cultural exchange.
