Snow, waveforms and pixels … audio postcards between NY and Argentina.
January 24, 2014
Keeping warm: teaching sound art and digital art at Purchase College and NYU Steinhardt this term.
Looking forward to an experimental sound exchange — which will be a series of audio postcards between a small group of composition students from University of Córdoba and my ‘non composition’ NYU students.

Localflux up and running!
September 1, 2012
Had an engaging conversation with Joshua Kogan the creator of Localflux — a website project that showcases creative expression and non-conventional thought through art, images, interviews, text, think tanks, sound and video. The idea is that such content will not be showcased for the sake of showcasing it, but the idea is to spark new creativity and collaboration between non-conventional contemporary musicians, artists from various mediums, writers/poets, scientists, environmentalists, protestors, community speakers, architects, engineers, etc.,.
