He is currently studying with composer and computer music theorist, Curtis Roads. While working on a NSF grant to study dictionary-based methods of atomic decomposition, Aaron began development on a prototype interface, Scatter, which decomposes sound into a granular-synthesis model and allows for unique transformations and visualizations of sound.

His PhD work, beginning in summer of 2009, will focus on the areas of integrating structural generative music and synthesis and will hope to work on developing a general theory of micro-aesthetics and perception-based generative music (or so he thinks so now).

Recently he has begun exploring generative visual art and has begun to combine real-time generative graphics and visualizations, synthesis, and music for real-time performance.
