So you  wake up in the morning 
What is the first thing that you say?
If I know anything about you 
It’s probably who you’ll be today?

A mystery to me, and everyone else 
Are you with me? or really are you in it for yourself?

And back and forth you change your mindset
And now I don’t know what to do
I feel like all I know is your name 
But even that was given to you

I’m looking at you and you’re thinking
What do you stand to gain from this? 
Can’t get a read on you I’m failing 
Can’t pull myself from your abyss 

A box to unlock, or leave it where it lay?
Will I know who you are? I hope I see the day

Back and forth you change your mindset
And now I don’t know what to do
I feel like all I know is your name 
But even that was given to you

The Name You Were Given

I play a few instruments and sing. Into zen, permaculture, veganism, anarchy. Doing my best to be a good dad for my daughter. Less time for art.

禅 I make music to explore myself. Each track is an intense creative journey for me. It's meditation and medicine.

禅 I publish on soundclound first. My work will always be free and available on most platforms for your convenience.

禅 I love to collaborate. Don't hesitate to send a DM. I can take care of the production.

禅 I usually publish under a CC-license, which allows you to use it for non-commercial purposes for free. If you need the files or single tracks from it, just contact me.

❯ The Sage is occupied with the unspoken
and acts without effort.
Teaching without verbosity,
producing without possessing,
creating without regard to result,
claiming nothing,
the Sage has nothing to lose. ❮
Tao Tê Ching, Second Chapter

Flippin’ music, man…..it’s awesome! I like creating things- music, art, photography, and so on. Let’s get creative and stuff, what?!?!

I love music of all kind. I love experiments.
