About
- I'm a happy multidisciplinarian hailing from Seattle.
- My first degree was in traditional European music composition, where I learned how to make great queasy-duck noises on the clarinet (among other things).
- After college, I got into acoustical consulting for a couple of years.
- This inspired me to go back to school for an M.Sc in Acoustics and Music Technology.
- I'm now researching the acoustics of Notre Dame de Paris at the Sorbonne Université.
- Occasionally I take breaks. When I do, I might be doing one of the following: phonography, hiking, researching obscure topics for fun, composing, or knitting.
