About Me


In computing, an interrupt is a signal that disrupts the current routine of a processor, causing it to handle an alternate routine. This alternate routine is known as the interrupt routine.

INT_routine is a "new media" project that explores the need for positive disruptions in everyday life. With a focus on spatiality and moments of unexpected solitude, the philosophies of microsound, drone, and circuit bending are brought together to create a cohesive whole, resulting in soundscapes that fuse lush ambience with warm, static tones and subtle, random noise.

The project's visual component focuses on uniting conventional still and motion photography with circuit bending and video manipulation.
