Not many actually know just how close I was to dying 2.5 years ago. My 3rd night in the hospital, as I was losing circulation to my brain and extremities, I truly didn't know if I would make it through the night. This feeling continued on for about 6 months or so, where every night it felt like I was losing circulation to my brain and I had no clue if I would make it, i just kept believing.
 
In those moments, I was embraced by the divine. I felt the presence of something far greater than myself. Something held me, and gave me the strength to stay.

It is inspired by this journey I have taken. And now I know so many of you have experienced similar!! I had no idea it would be so many of us. 🌍

Through my psychedelic journeys I discovered the nature of who we really are, beyond our bodies. Our souls are so vast and powerful. So beyond words and concept. May we remember why we are here, who we are and discover the power held within us all.

Near Death Experience

Miniature Pour Cassette


Grotesco is a piece dedicated to grotesque art, where comedy and tragedy radiate from the same sound—or combination of sounds. Strong contrasts, irrational sounds, and the coexistence of the familiar and the imaginary take place throughout the composition, exploring not only their separate existence but also creating something alien within the familiar. The goal is to make the audience oscillate between laughter and unease.
Enhancing this idea, I experiment with micromodulated phrases, extreme panning, and combinations of textures.

Program Note:

In certain schools of Buddhism, bardo refers to an intermediate, transitional, or liminal state—most often between death and rebirth. But it can also describe a moment of becoming: a turning point within the flow of ordinary life.

This piece draws from the idea of bardo both structurally and metaphorically—as a passage through changing states of sound, meaning, and perception. Composed primarily from field recordings and processed soundscapes, Bardo moves between anecdotal and abstract sonic materials, blending natural and urban environments with electronic transformations. Mountains melt, the sea turns to machinery, and vanishes into the noise of everyday crowds. And, isn’t that the sounds of the city have begun more and more to resemble human voices, or perhaps, the human voices have already begun resembling the city roars?

Bardo is a turning point—between reality and illusion, between past and future lives, between place (topos) and non-place (utopia). It is also a personal journey of apprenticeship through the sonic and emotional terrains I’ve inhabited, searching for the thread that weaves it all together.
