• About Me

  

  I teach full time in the Humanities department at Champlain College in Montreal. My research, pedagogy, and creative practice reside at the intersections of soundscape research, media studies, and critical geography. I have previously taught in the cinema departments at Concordia University and Toronto Metropolitan University, and in the Humanities departments at Lasalle College and Dawson College. I have presented and published extensively on film sound, media geography, and acoustic ecology. My sound compositions, photographs and films have been exhibited internationally. See bio for more details.

• Fall 2023

  This semester I am teaching courses on the intersections between epistemology, environmental philosophy, and art. My new book, Acoustic Profiles: A Sound Ecology of the Cinema, was released into the wild last month. I have a video essay on sound in the films of Gus Van Sant coming out in the next issue of Alphaville, and my chapter on Stan Douglas' iOS app Circa 1948 is in the copy-editing stage for a collection on the interactive documentary in Canada. I have begun work on my next short film, Displacements, an experimental documentary on the life of my father in Vancouver, BC. I recently completed the sound design for a new film collaboration with Gerda Cammaer, Sea Changes, now on the festival circuit.
