“Composing’s one thing, performing’s another, listening’s a third. What can they have to do with each other?” —John Cage
My music creates new connections among composers, performers, and listeners, using extended notation and new technology to experiment with the ways in which music is created, performed, and heard. My works range from traditional concert performances to mass-audience participation environments to online collaborative music tools to software art.

Graph Theory seeks to connect composition, listening, and concert performance by coupling an acoustic work for solo violin to an interactive web site. On the web site, users navigate among sixty-one short, looping musical fragments to create their own unique path through the composition.
The navigation choices which users make affect future concert performances of the work. Before each performance, the soloist prints out a new copy of the score from the web site. That score presents her with a fixed path through the piece; the order of the fragments is influenced by the decisions that recent web site visitors have made.
