Instrument / control
MOARkNOBS-42
Open-source MIDI controller and teaching platform where mappings, latency, and feedback stay visible.
Scene branch of a longer practice
Studio Portfolio
This page is the quickest read of the studio work now in public view: instruments, rooms, images, sound, teaching systems, and recovery paths that can be entered, tested, and traced back to earlier materials. Photography and darkroom process still sit underneath it, especially the questions of threshold, memory, limitation, and translation.
The current scene systems are not separate from the earlier work. They keep asking how people enter a work, what a medium withholds, what it remembers, and how care appears in structure.
Current work
Open the current studio practice one work at a time
This is the direct-access layer for the public studio now: instruments, sound work, image systems, performance stacks, fabrication, and maintenance culture. Atlas explains the relationships; these cards get you into the work.
Instrument / control
MOARkNOBS-42
Open-source MIDI controller and teaching platform where mappings, latency, and feedback stay visible.
Vision / consent
Human-Buffer
Computer-vision workshop structure centered on consent, refusal, perception, and public understanding.
Room / memory
Memory Engine
Participant-facing memory environment where contribution, decay, retrieval, and revocation are part of the form.
Performance system
live-rig
Audio, control, and video performance stack documented as a recoverable scene system.
Sound / release practice
B_S.
Longform noise where pressure, grief, repetition, and ritual become audible form.
Sound analysis
frZone
Frequency-zone trigger study turning sound into thresholds, MIDI, OSC, and visible events.
DSP / listening
Horizon
Mid/side processor study where dry/wet comparison and listening become the evidence.
DSP instrument
SeedBox
Seed-driven sound generation as repeatable variation for performance, teaching, and portable kits.
Image / geometry
Glitch Geometry
Procedural glitch and CAD experiments where moving-image instability becomes buildable form.
Workshop installation
Data Weird
Overnight data sculpture jam with live sensing, projection mapping, acrylic forms, and walk-up debugging.
Fabrication
Generative Fabrication Techniques
Code-to-form studies moving SDF fields, remeshing, and print constraints into physical proof.
Care / maintenance
machine-docs
Machine stewardship and operational literacy treated as cultural, pedagogical, and studio work.
Current sound flow
Sound is not a side practice here
Longform noise work under B_S. carries the same pressure, grief, repetition, ritual, and collapse that move through the installations and systems. The material changes, but the question stays close: how can difficult states become forms people can enter, endure, and return from?
The current tool branch makes that audible work operational. live-rig, frZone, Horizon, SeedBox, and MOARkNOBS-42 treat sound as performance material, signal, threshold, control surface, and evidence.
Lineage
What now looks like infrastructure began as image, risk, grief, and proof
The studio work still carries its earlier materials inside it. Photography becomes consent-forward seeing. Youthful launch-thinking becomes instrument design. Injury becomes maintenance culture. Temporary rooms become repeatable public systems.
- Windows and threshold Night Stalker Re-Runs on Channel 4 begins the line of mediated seeing.
- Flight and prototype logic I was young once turns ambition, numbering, and risk into early structure.
- Injury and continuation Scar makes repair, bodily memory, and still riding the same machine part of the work.
- Rooms and hybrid stacks Are you ready to fly?, Two lefts..., and Symbolizing Everything show that systems were already present.
- Care as method The current instruments, memory environments, learning platforms, and rebuild work keep those same questions legible.
Scene Systems
Three systems that make the studio legible
These are not just works. They are operating systems for scenes: how people enter, how control behaves, how media lanes synchronize, and how the work stays understandable after the first build moment. Each one also carries older concerns about translation, unstable memory, bodily pressure, and shared structure.

Where truth lives
Project repos hold the live scene- and tool-specific truth. studio-notes holds the cross-project patterns, decisions, reference, and teaching cards harvested from that work. Atlas shows how those systems relate across the fleet. The archive stays public because current scene logic still depends on those earlier experiments.
Methods and Privacy & Ethics explain how evidence, documentation, assumptions, and public boundaries are being handled across this branch.
