Spotify

return to a time

and then we were one is a musical journey through the past, present, and future of my relationship and as a result is a deeply personal creation. Each note, crafted with a Korg Minilogue XD synthesizer, is layered with unique textures from the Hologram Microcosm, Generation Loss, and Strymon Nightsky pedals, creating a soundscape that feels both familiar and endlessly evolving.

and then we were one

Ask an AI .....
The term "Quality Without a Name" (QWAN) was introduced by Christopher Alexander, an architect and design theorist, in his book "The Timeless Way of Building." QWAN is an elusive concept used to describe the intangible essence or feeling of a well-designed space or object that makes it feel alive, comfortable, and harmonious. It represents the innate quality that resonates with people on an emotional level, making them feel at ease and at one with the space.

Alexander argues that this quality is timeless, meaning that it transcends styles, periods, and cultures. He believes that when people can experience QWAN in a space, it indicates that the design follows a natural and universal order, aligning with human needs and desires.

QWAN can be applied to various fields, including architecture, urban design, software development, and other disciplines where creating something meaningful and harmonious is the goal. In each of these domains, the concept of QWAN is a reminder to designers and developers to strive for that elusive, intangible quality that makes their work resonate with users on a deeper level.
