His works have been performed at SEAMUS National Conference, ICMC, the Chosen Vale International Trumpet Seminar, Electronic Music Midwest, the Boston CyberArts Festival, the Toronto Electroacoustic Symposium, and the New York City Electronic Music Festival, among other spots. Sean received his B.A. from the University of Virginia in 2005, where he studied music, psychology and astronomy. In 2007, Sean earned his Masters degree in Electro-Acoustic Music from Dartmouth College and wrote his thesis on Discoverable Composition, where an audience is not explicitly aware of music happening in its environment.

His research is focused on compositional, theoretical, and technical approaches to the intersection of music and place.
