Scoring and sound design on TRINITY (directed by Troy Schulz) — refining spot-checking workflows, thematic development, and diegetic source cues.
In the Lab (Systems & Tooling)
REAPER + AI Symbolic Bridge: Published the working implementation of an in-memory MIDI-to-LLM analysis bridge (DN_Gemini_MIDI_Analyze_Selected). Stripping the serialization layer down to raw event arrays cut token payloads by ~98% compared to MusicXML, making real-time voice-leading spot-checks viable without cloud-vendor lock-in.

Telemetry & Optimization: Instrumenting session logging (gemini_telemetry.jsonl) to benchmark round-trip latency, note density, and token efficiency during live writing sessions.
Maintaining custom TouchOSC and ReaScript control layers for orchestral articulation switching.
