Produced in collaboration with Mack Mcfarland |

Exquisite Octopus - a set of instructions devised and utilized by Carl Diehl and Nat Hawks, to facilitate collaborative sound art composition. In this model, two participants produce and exchange a sound composition. These initial compositions are then remixed by the two participants and exchanged again. This process of remixing and exchange continues until each participant has produced a total of four compositions each. Together, these sonic "tentacles" comprise the Exquisite Octopus. |

Things Go Wrong! - a new narrative confabulated out of a dizzying database of disparate Harrison Ford movies. In this new adventure, Ford's character is subjected to sibling rivalry with a multiplicity of reproduced Others. Produced in collaboration with Jason Kocol who also wrote much of the incidental music. A harbinger of the youtube mash up, you can imagine where this video now resides. |
