JDK was invited by the Whitney Museum of American Art to record the sound works included in Bitstreams, an exhibition exploring the ways in which the digital age has affected perception, identity and communication.  Bitstreams is a testimony as to how digital technologies have revolutionized the creation, production, distribution, and performance of experimental music and sound art.

Many contemporary composers also draw on everyday noises--as idiosyncratic as the hydraulic system of a bus or the sounds of laser eye surgery--as legitimate compositional elements. Bitstreams documents these artists' experiment with sounds derived from nature, language, abstracted digital noise, traditional instruments, and prerecorded music, they combine avant-garde musical influences with equally inventive ideas drawn from more popular music styles of the last several decades.
