His music has been performed at many important festivals and venues, including: New Music America festivals; Meet the Moderns; Pro Musica Nova; Inventionen; Musik der Zeit; The International Festival of Improvised Music; Next Wave; The Whitney Museum’s Sound Art Festival; The Experimental Intermedia Foundation, among others.
