Core of this piece was created with a modular synth path of Maths, Beads, Dual Dagger, TipTop Audio Z5000 delay, Data Bender, and FXAid reverb. The resulting soundscape reminded me of one of my favorite electronic/ambient composers Tetsu Inoue. 

Beloved ambient techno and electronic music composer Tetsu Inoue disappeared entirely after releasing his last album "Inland" in 2007. Friends, lovers, colleagues and collaborators have searched for him for years. One theory posed in long Reddit threads is that Tetsu perished in the 2011 tsunami in Japan. I've met tsunami survivors, and imagine the aftermath of devastation and search for survivors in this cinematic ambient track.

Tetsu is Missing

Tetsu Is Missing

Thinking about the cycle of soulmates, who meet each other over and over in different forms and lifetimes. Imagining us as future beings, interplanetary species, still doing the dance together.

You, Forever

French And Dangerous

On August 20, 2020 we lost our home to wildfire. It was a home I helped build in 1995, filled with metal and neon pieces I’d created in my garage workshop. In 2005, I invited a young family to add onto the house, creating a co-housing community with big shared kitchen. We lived together for 15 amazing years. With the fire, we lost our home, our beloved community, and everything we owned. You can know and prepare for wildfire risk--nothing prepares you for such catastrophic loss. 

A couple weeks ago I regained access to dozens of music files I thought were lost. One was this piece. With the wildfire anniversary just around the corner, I finished it as a way of moving through another layer of grief. Every time I watch a community wiped out by wildfire, hurricane, flood, tornado, or war, my heart is with them. There's no turning away from change at this scale.
