I’m working with my musical collaborator Alia Scheirman to develop performance environments that allow for a live and mechanically visible integration of movement and sound, making use of everyday objects, looping technology, live drawings, and more.

What does incubation mean to you?

I can be very literal sometimes, so I think about incubating an idea like an egg. Sometimes, you’re not entirely sure what’s gonna hatch from it and when – nor can you really control these things – but you decide to give it your time, care, and energy regardless, dedicating yourself to whatever beautiful or monstrous being might emerge.
