He has produced real-time and performative algorithmic works involving interaction between sound and image components (''soundAFFECTS'', ''Time The Magician'' and many other works). Dean’s work appears on more than 50 commercial recordings on labels such as Audio Research Editions, Discus, Mosaic Records, Soma Quality Recordings, Future Music Records (FMR) (UK); Jade Music, Rufus and Tall Poppies Records (Australia); and Crayon, Cuneiform Records, and Frog Peak Music (US).
