about:

I write experimental electronic music!

This site is, variously: a portfolio, a self-reflection on my artistic sensibilites, an exploration of musical tools and processes, and a blog about whatever else strikes my fancy!

I'm called "Luminesce" on streaming platforms; and I'm called "April" in real life, by the silly goobers who know me!

Stick around if you enjoy:

• esoteric maximalist dubstep
• art made by and for transgender people with stupid tattoos
• books written by Ursula K. LeGuin
• techno-artistic discussions of various methods of sound manipulation
• field recordings
• curious turns of phrase
• synthesizers as art
• cooking and eating every kind of vegetable you can find
• hand-sewing and visible mending
• playing with legos even though you are 24 years of age

I imagine this site as a replacement for some aspects of social media. My digital artistic practice wants a digital gallery, where I can digitally reflect on my digital expressions; but I don't much enjoy playing the social media game. I need a counterweight to the Instagram Vortex Of Perpetual Insanity (what a friend of mine recently called "turning into a slug"). A weirdo little freeform blog feels about right for me :)
