My name is Anthony. I play with sound, media, and performance. Hopefully, this play does good.

I live in my hometown of New York City.
[growth]
I grew up in a post-punk band.
I am no longer in that post-punk band.
I still try to abide by some punk ethos,
while calmly reading theory.
My hypercollaborative work pulls from practices of electroacoustic composition, oral history, and experimental performance to build environments for communal understanding.
These works exist as publicly as radio broadcasts and as privately as personal messages sent through a telephone, but they are all intended to bring listeners together. There is an intention of support throughout my work: to support others, to support joy, support exploration, and revelation. I believe that is a way to form a greater community.
I am currently working on films, ensemble compositions, audio drama, and performances with Annie Ning, Paula Matthusen, Anna Mikami, and Ian Andrew Askew
Persistent areas of interest/research include: telephone art, sonic urbanism, audio accessibility, indigenous oral history, and game sound.
I am the Technical Director of The New York Neo-Futurists
I am the Production Manager at Mercury Store
I teach too!
I hold an M.F.A. in Sound Art from Columbia University.
