Buchla Easel Improvisation

Since 2016, I have been improvising with the Buchla Music Easel, initially in the service of my research into the work of Don Buchla, but subsuquently as a practice of self-inquiry, autoethnography, and autoanalysis.

Collaborations with Marcia Bassett

Since 2019, I have been collaborating with Marcia Bassett to explore and perform live improvisation with Buchla Music Easels (among other instruments).
