Artist-in-Residency Application: Music Samples
I compose and produce music using Ableton Live 12, a digital audio workstation (DAW) which allows me to shape sound the way a photographer shapes light. I blend sampled instruments, natural sounds, and my own tunes, then build them into layered pieces that express my life experiences. Even though the music is created electronically, I craft every decision—from melody, counterpoint, texture, and rhythm to arrangement and structure—by hand, ear, and heart.
