“never left” is a reflective work of research-creation comprising of a 10-15 minute audio-first VR experience, aiming to re-sanctify technologically-mediated acts of self-disclosure via mutual reciprocity, critical distance, and navigable music.

With research interests spanning VR, glitch, self-disclosure, solitary experience, game design, and queer life in the Post-Internet Age, Catherine’s work draws from an eclectic variety of inspirations. Her music has been commissioned for New Music Edmonton’s “Now Hear This” festival, and performed by the Land’s End Ensemble, Winds of the Scarborough Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Association of Canadian Women Composers. In her spare time, Catherine frequently designs and/or creates audio for games, and has won 1st place in multiple game jams across Alberta.
