About
Altitude Sickness performs multi-dimensional mash-ups using self-assembled Monome tupperware. He is also the creator of Smacktop - a free, open-source, software package for Mac laptops which translates the physical motion of the machine into MIDI and audio data. Altitude Sickness hosted a weekly show on WPRB 103.3 FM from ‘06 - ‘10 (Listen , Playlists Archive), and performed with the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk) for three years.
Altitude Sickness has lugged his sonic tupperware across the US, opening for the likes of Nosaj Thing, Hudson Mohawke, Daedelus and Lucky Dragons. With the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, he has collaborated with So Percussion and Matmos. In April 2010 he debuted an original composition for PLOrk, which utilizes real-time machine learning algorithms to transform the laptop into a unique gestural interface. (G - Video)
