mom's iphone 2013-2017 [2022] When my mother died last year, my father gave me an old iPhone of hers which she'd used between 2012 and 2017. Using a MIDI violin, I take the videos and photos contained on that phone and use them as notes for a performance. Doing so can perhaps allow one to see the world of that time through her eyes...

letter to mom [2023, premiere] While projecting photos of my mother on the wall, I record notes from a stringed instrument. I then allot these notes to keys on the computer keyboard and proceed to type a letter to my mother live. When a given key is pressed, the note assigned to it either starts or stops sounding. From there, the act of having typed the letter takes a form in which it can again be performed on a stringed instrument...

mom's iphone 2013-2017 [2022年作] 2022年亡くなった母親が2013-2017年使っていたiPhoneを父親がくれた。そこに載っている写真と動画をMIDIバイオリンを通して音符のように弾くと、彼女の目を通して過去をみることが出来るかな...

letters to mom [新作] 母の写真を移しながら、弦楽器の音を録音する。その音符をキーボードの文字に振り当てて、亡くなった母へライブで手紙を打つ。ある文字のキーを押すと、その録音された音符がスピーカーから流れる。続いて、その手紙を打ったことも弦楽器で弾けるようなものになっていく...
