Since 1988, his work has been concentrated in the field of interactive computer entertainment. He was a charter member of SF's Virtual Reality Group and has lectured at Cyberarts and performed at the first Digital Be-In.

Crashing The Russian Renaissance
  
Lx Rudis (Matrix 12)
  
André Custodio (darbuka, tom-tom, Line 6)
  
Ernesto Diaz-Infante (guitar, violin, voice)

From three of San Francisco's leading experimental/new music purveyors, Crashing The Russian Renaissance finds the trio in some seriously adventurous compositions for electronics and guitar.  Reflecting the artists' continued musical evolutions, the music constantly evolves over 30 compositions from thin soundscapes to heavy improvisational dialogues.

Comes highly recommended for a window into the current state of affairs in both the San Francisco underground sound as well as the future of electroacoustic improvisation.
