In September of 2014, I spent three weeks living and working in a remote cabin as an Artist-in-Residence at Hewnoaks Artist Colony, near the White Mountains in Maine. There I focused on integrating field recordings and site specific performances into the language-based works I had been creating with experimental musical instruments that I have built. I brought recording equipment and a group of my experimental instruments to the residency to compose, perform and record in the landscape of New England. I spent my time editing on site, making compositional decisions based on being able to return to specific locations for further experimentation. Hiking each night I made nocturnal field recordings of the loons and owls in the region. By day I canoed the lake, studying the tree-line and the shore-line for use as a visual score.  This experience culminated in and audio CD/booklet and a series of digital prints documenting my performances on the lake.
