Moretti & Sons (2014) is a branding project focusing on a fictional 1920s inspired barbershop located in New York.

Along with various printed material and a social media campaign, I created a soundtrack which touched on the rich history and overall experience of visiting the establishment.

THE SMOOTH TROPICS : SAMPLE

Skewed Mementos is a track that sonically communicates a poster created as the final result of gathering and documenting a collection of 20 significant objects. Each object evoked striking memories from a major period of transition in my life: turning 20 years old.

The Tristeza Tapes (2015), Spanish for sadness and grief, are a collection of three cassette tapes that explore impermanence, nostalgia, and the human condition through methods of music packaging, sound, and writing.

"Sometimes I am alive. 

I will feel slowly, becoming distinct with love.

We shall attain the intense moment pleasantly.

It begins with one singular gesture."

The Tristeza Tapes – Sometimes I Am Alive

before[i]forget

Now

You have a knack (I wait for you)

To give me what I lack (I wait for you)

Don’t make me smack (I wait for you)

&

Lie on your back (I wait for you)

Seep through all my cracks (I wait for you)

I have turned black (I wait for you)

Always
