I have been hailed as ‘vaguely acousmatic’, ‘not doing anything special’ and ‘somewhat boring’.
As a composer, I make scores for instrumental ensembles and electronics. As an improviser, I gig and record albums using my voice and bespoke feedback instruments.
My friends tend to perceive better than I do:
‘...when Aj talks about what he’s up to, it seems really disciplined, like a lot of thought goes into the music and he really knows what he is doing…but in the moments of creating, it seems to be a conscious decision to let all of that go.’
