. . . is a multidimensional artist, composer, performer, producer and systems architect; he collaboratively bridges theories with practical applications. His integrative approach to higher education started with digital art, film and installation sculpture at UCSB, coupled with screenwriting at UCLA. As a music composer and alumni of Future Music Oregon, he received his degree in music composition under the guidance of Guggenheim fellow, David Crumb at the University of Oregon (UO). His background in Music Technology cultivated a path towards innovative uses of analog and digital technologies to create neo-organic compositions. While at the UO, he started The Theurgic Seed Cooperative, a convergent media group that performs and develops live and multimedia atmospheric projects. Continuing with this project and new formats, he has toured a broad range of genres, styles and concepts. The project coalesced into a critically-acclaimed cd & dvd "this is not a (c/s)ell."

--- He is currently a member of the Complexity and Nonlinear Dynamics (CAND) focus group in the UO Institute of Cognitive and Decision Sciences. His role in this project is to present new media methodologies, serving as a conduit for inspiring collaboration, edutainment experiences and online community architecture. In addition, he speaks on issues including: ecology, bioethics, free culture, remixing, complexity, simplicity, integral theories and open source at a variety of conferences and symposia. He is founder of the Imaginify Community Network, a collaborative exploration connecting theoretical knowledge to practical solutions. This project brings collective dialog and deliberation to a diversity of memes and approaches, offering solutions to seed, sprout and pollinate.

♦ The Metamedia Cooperation is an adventure into the kaleidoscopic world of art, science and community. Rounding out these transdisciplinary experiences are cutting-edge academic thinkers, as well as Open Space for communities at the forefront of ecological design, permaculture and planning. Also included is a series of art installations which feature established and up and coming conceptual and visionary artists. Advisor and/or consultant to: The Digital Visions Program at Stanford, UO Sustainable Business Symposium, San Francisco Earth Day 06, Uplift Academy, Evolver Project, GivingSpace, Interra, Planetwork, Holocosmos, Identity Commons & Identity Woman and various ecological groups.
