My work focuses on the intersection of location, identity, and expression, particularly in terms of local music scenes and community-based arts organizations. Recently, this work has detoured into the realm of psychogeographic space, encompassing post-industrial mythology, genre-based personas, the apocalypse, and synth music.
I've been recording music as Cantilever since 2001 and performing in the electronic band Spectral Mornings since 2003. I ran an independent record label, Square Root Records, which focused on abstract electronic music from Michigan, from 2004 to 2009. I received my MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2011, after living in the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Here's some recent poster work....

Notes for a recent project:
-------------------------------------------
"Cybotron's Techno City, like all these possibility spaces, is Sonic Fiction: electronic fiction, with frequencies fictionalized, synthesized and organized into escape routes. Which is why you should always laugh in the face of those producers, djs and journalists who sneer at escapism for its unreality, for its fakeness; all those who strain to keep it real. …
Common sense wants to see you behind the bars it calls Real Life. By contrast, Sonic Fiction strands you in the present with no way of getting back to the 70s. Sonic Fiction is the first stage of a reentry program which grasps this very clearly. Sonic Fictions are part of modern music's MythSystems. Moving through living space, real-world environments that are already alien."
