My work in sound encompasses radio experiments, sound design for film, audio essays, musicals, electronic music experiments and various hybrids. I have been doing transmission and radio art experiments since 1991, and have taught sound and radio art classes since 1997. I was the producer of a short-lived radio art show Thickly Settled (from 1992-93) on WMBR in Cambridge, among other various pirate and community radio shows and performances.
