- I'm not trying to be popular, I'm not trying to fit in. I'm not trying to win awards. I’m trying to be authentic, and share emotions and concepts that I find meaningful, intending to have some type of positive presence in the world—that's it.

- ◾️ On The Other Side ◻️
This is the first movement from my ballet On The Other Side written for choreographer Chanel DaSilva and Parsons Dance. It explores themes of isolation, communication, and distance.
We recorded On The Other Side at the famous Ocean Way Studio in Nashville, TN.
The combination of marimba and piano creates punchy accents in this rhythmic movement.

Piano - yours truly

- The Goldberg Variations. My edition doesn’t have fingerings. At first this bothered me, but I value it now. I think of it as a right of passage, each mapping their own fingerings, ones that match the heart/hands/mind of the musician.
- Today the documentary I scored “This Is My Place” about the life and work of Argentinian conceptual artist David Lamelas premieres at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago https://visit.mcachicago.org/events/david-lamelas-this-is-my-place/
- I wrote this note down back in 2018, when I was 12,254 days old. It contains a list of pieces for piano i desired to learn and record. I’ve now learned and recorded all of them, 2199 days later. The road is long, the sea is deep … as Badu says, write it down … watch it grow 🪴

- The current paradigm of psychopathology is inadequate without a mode that accounts for perinatal (pre-birth/birth experience) and transpersonal elements (spiritual, unitary, collective) of psychology. Sessions where Grof administered psychedelic/holotropic therapy pointed towards this insight.

- in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy we presented on 15 September at Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare & Transart Festival 23 a piece I composed for David Lamelas sculpture «1416m³» with members of the incredible Halvcirkel Quartet and baritone Lorenzo Ziller, with an introduction by Peter Paul Kainrath and the artist.

- 🎭 Announcing my participation in this year’s Transart Festival in Bolzano, Italy as part of A Journey Into Monstrous Spaces, which will re-stage the hybrid string quartet/vocal work 1416m³. Our conceptual chamber music, the fruits of a collaboration between David Lamelas, León de Castillo and myself, will accompany the first retrospective installation of Argentinian artist David Lamelas in Italy. Really looking forward to this, and to be featured alongside Carlo Massari, Madame Nielsen, and Halvcirkel. With considerable thanks to Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare.
