About Me

I’ve been making records since 1982, when I was a freshman in high school in Louisville, Kentucky. I’ve made ten solo records, played in a number of groups (Squirrel Bait, Bastro, Gastr del Sol, Red Krayola, Wingdale Community Singers), and get a kick out of working with folks from far-flung fields: Stephen Prina, Cosima von Bonin, Angela Bulloch, Anthony McCall, Susan Howe, Kenneth Goldsmith, and many others. Libération once called me “le plus Français des Américains.” I'm an assistant professor of Radio and Sound Art at Brooklyn College, CUNY, and director of Brooklyn College's graduate programs in Performance and Interactive Media Arts (www.interactivearts.org).
