During that time he became involved in computer music through the Department of Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS). He completed a Master of Music in Composition at the University of Washington under Juan Pampin, where he focused on the use of wavelet analysis to resynthesize ambisonic recordings. He completed a Ph.D. at DXARTS studying with Richard Karpen. He has had works shown at the International Computer Music Conference in Montreal, New York, and Perth, Australia, Art Basel in Miami, Henry Art Gallery and Meany Hall in Seattle, and at the Reykjavik Art Museum in Reykjavik, Iceland. His interests include spectral analysis, ambisonics, and the exploration of the relationships between literature, philosophy, and music.
