This Blog

This blog was created as a space to write about, share ideas, and discuss the ways that people of all ages and backgrounds are participating in media expression. Whether it’s using new media tools like blogs, vlogs, and podcasts, or more traditional media such as print, radio, or television, I am interested in how people are moving from being consumers of to participants in media.

I am also interested in the role that politics, economics, and public policy play in the ability for individuals and groups to access communication technologies for creative, educational, democratic, and other social uses.

This is my personal blog. The views expressed on this blog are my own. I am not getting paid to write this blog, nor am I speaking on behalf of my employer in any way. Any discussion of things related to my work, or to events I might publicize here, or to themes that also relate to my professional life, is incidental and something I would be doing regardless of my professional circumstances.

My Background

My professional experience includes music composition, audio engineering, arranging and production. I began my undergraduate studies as a classical/jazz composition major at The New England Conservatory in 1992. Years later, I transitioned from musical composition and performance to studio recording. I began this career shift as an assistant engineer at Q Division Studios and later went on to open my own studio, The Longhouse, with Aubrey Anderson of Skating Club. To view a partial list of recordings I have worked on, visit this link and this link.

To see what I’ve been up to over the past few years, visit my CV. Here’s a link to my portfolio, which includes some my work as a digital media producer during my time at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard.

Thanks for stopping by.
