Artist Statement:

(dis)integration plays with stability and instability, density and scattering, unification and fragmentation, tranquility and disruption, anticipation and surprise, integration and disintegration. The work is based on recordings of percussion instruments, and is manipulated using a variety of granular, transpositional, time stretching and time compression techniques in order to disintegrate the source material into fragments and to re-integrate the fragments into new textures. The structural elements are shaped in ways that both set up and challenge a sense of anticipation and order through disruption and surprise.
