Exhibit Columbus 2025 : Architecture Biennial
Music / Sound / Mix
An architecture biennial in Columbus, Indiana commissioned thirteen architects to create site-responsive installations celebrating the city's modern architecture legacy through free public exhibitions.
As musician, composer and sound designer, I created thirteen 60-second original scores for animated short films produced with Sing-Sing Studios that documented each installation's creative process, translating architectural ideas into sound.
