The Food Map
The Food Map is an original show published on the Berkeley Space Station that explores restaurants in Berkeley from a geographic lens. This means that I analyze what relationship the restaurant has to its customers, the surrounding community, and greater food networks. Every episode focuses on a different restaurant, including field recordings of the interior, interviews, and analytical commentary.

East Bay Field Recordings
This is a collection of field recordings that explore different places in the East Bay. The goal of these recordings is to document and interpret the built environment and its relation to people and nature through entirely sonic methods. In this way, these field recordings are a tool for both creative expression and methodological research.
