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. I love experimenting with new ways to make sound, and have recently worked on augmented instruments and software development, including projects aimed at removing disabling barriers to music.
