Hito Steyerl’s 2020 installation <i>SocialSim</i> used one of my dungeon synth compositions, <i>Glacial Catacomb</i>, as the music inside an art gallery‘s “secret VIP room” full of self-evolving artworks. For the film’s credits, I arranged a rendition of Ennio Morricone's <i>Rabbia e Tarantella</i> (1974), performed using guitars, drums, and synths.

<p>
<i>Drill</i> was a film shot by Hito Steyerl at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City.
The piece centered around gun violence in America, both its history (the Armory is where
the NRA was founded) and the present-day situation where mass shootings happen nearly
every week. I scored the film using data sonifications of mass shooting data, performed
using the Deepmind 12 synthesizer and JX-8P. These data sonifications act as timelines of
gun violence, where each beat represents the passing of a month, and each note represents
a tragic incident. Through this process, a dark melody naturally emerges. These were later
arranged and performed by the Yale University Precision Marching Band in the Drill Hall
at the Armory.

Hito Steyerl's <i>This is the Future / Power Plants</i> used my drones to illustrate a garden of
flowers with the power to cure social media addiction. It was presented in 2019 at the Venice Biennale.

I composed the soundtrack to Dominik Galizia's film <i>Figaros Wölfe</i>, a feature-length psychological drama about a woman overcoming her past trauma through the help of a friend. The synth-driven score features some of my favorite instruments, including the Roland JX-8P and the Moog SubPhatty.
