I am a sound artist and performer currently focussing on gamelan, feedback, and light. As Ardisson I have recorded experimental dance music, acid, and soundscapes since 1999 – including several 12″s on Seed Records. Recent projects include augmented instruments and software development for live performance and improved accessibility.
