Jay will present selections from recent works in a lecture titled */Ars

chapter on the sounds of Mashinima and planning an evening of radio art 
and surround sound works for the April 2011 *Out of the Box Contemporary 
Music Festival* in Carbondale, Illinois. Jay is an Associate Professor

diverse environments such as Antarctica, the U.S. Department of Energy's 
Hanford Site, and the Panama Canal Zone. He has an extensive history of 
international exhibitions and broadcasts employing film, video, sound 
installations, and works for radio. Listen and watch examples of Jay's
