He is an Image-Music-Text-Theater Re-Writer, independent researcher, and undisciplined theorist. His compositions at CalArts ("text-scores"), studying with <a href="http://www.calarts.edu/schools/music/faculty/pisaro.html" target="_blank">Michael Pisaro</a>, enable other performers to create a "secondary symbolic network," formations of collectives, or "sociological constellations." This socio-political factory scenario is an "undisciplined" experiment that examines the unrepresentational potential for music, text, image, and theater. Mike Richard's text-score works include: <strong>Affects, Affections 1-4</strong>(2002) <strong>For Michael Pisaro 1-8</strong>(2002) <strong>The Ethics (5 Composers, 5 Chapters, 5 days): Chapter 3: On the Origin and Nature of the Emotions</strong> (2003) <strong>Stalker (new soundtrack)</strong>(2003) <strong>Le Bergsonisme</strong> (2004) Mike is also involved in the creation of "indie-industrial bedroom synth-plop" under the name <a href="http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=4379611&Mytoken=20050417112056"><strong>struggle at the snuggle factory</strong></a>.
