During a difficult time just after graduating 2000-2002, a good friend of mine Brian Pare and I were working convention audio in Ottawa. We shared a place and eventually moved to Toronto together. During this time I was continuing my exploration of computer media started in university under Laurie Radford. These are some of the found audio compositions I did.

To make these pieced Brian and I went around and recorded sounds, and friends and digitizing old records. We used sound forge and Acid mainly, as well as keyboards, guitars, Brian also had a theremin and an effects box. Lots of good times, and bad neighbors.
