I am a psychoacoustician and auditory neuroscientist. My research focuses on the brain mechanisms of binaural and spatial hearing. I'm particularly interested in how human listeners combine multiple spatial cues to generate a rich perception of the acoustical space we live in. I am also interested in electronic sound synthesis (particularly analog), sound recording, mixing, and experimental music production.

As a graduate student in the SF Bay Area during the 1990s, I worked part time for Buchla & Associates, ran a ProTools (442)-based project studio and mail-order (CD-R) label, Ovenguard Music.
I have long been obsessed with sound and how we perceive it. Audio engineering is among the most hands on, inquisitive, and illustrative paths to understanding those mysteries.
