sound artist / ecooacoustic composer, improvising cellist / trustee, advisor, consultant

Through listening walks, I observe the coalescence of elemental difference — Light to water, water to land, the soil/ mycelium to trees, the minerals and species of the ocean floor in the dark, to the surface, illuminated by subaqueous light. Through attunement to the currents and wave patterns water makes, I experience an expression of time, and a sonic ontology of water. I offer listening walks and deep listening sonic experiences, compose intermedia works, to draw experiential sensory awareness to the ocean this planet is. My practice is to hold a reciprocal presence with water. I am beginning new exploration in collaboration with filmmaker Philippe Léonard at the place in the Fleuve St Laurent where saline water transforms to fresh water, and beings may live in both.

In September I will be a guest of the Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice and align with Pietro Consolandi‘s Rights of Nature Collective .
