Artist Statement:

I'm the founder and last remaining member of the band Sonus Umbra. I am also a full time faculty here at Columbia with the department of Science and Mathematics. I'm living proof that sleep is wrong, and have the scars to prove it sucks to be right. Overall, I'm a reasonably well-adjusted, sometimes heavily self-medicated, caffeinated inmate on this gravitational prison, orbiting at 30 km/s round the Sun. Afraid of heights, so I bass to keep me safe and low. Just a human. Being. Can you paradigm?
