coffee/coffee began as a remote collaborative video project organized by Gabe Pine, which quickly disintegrated and then reformed as a weekly virtual meeting with fluctuating membership where attendees brought scores/activities to realize as a group and presented multi-disciplinary work for critique

Lines of time and air (2019)

Lines of time and air was a study in composing and listening in a layered sound world. The five electroacoustic compositions that comprised this evening-length concert are made of field recordings, recorded sine tones, speaker hum and hiss, the ambient sound of the room, time, and thoughts. 

Lines of time and air was created between October 2018 and April 2019 and presented as a thesis performance at Hampshire College in April. The concert took place at the Yurt Media Center, Hampshire's radio station, and was live broadcast on the air.
