Listen

Music for presence, connection, and joy.

Singer-songwriter storytelling, ambient ceremony, live looping, and melodic organic sound. Music made for listening to on purpose — the kind you sit inside rather than put on behind something else.

Music & Ceremony

A playlist to begin with

Music I perform and draw from in ceremony — the sonic world this work lives in. Original recordings are on the way; the list hears them first.

No noise, no spam. Only what matters, when it matters.

The practice

Rooted in the philosophy of life as ceremony.

I’m a multi-instrumentalist and live looping artist. My work explores the intersection of music, attention, emotional connection, and human transformation — from intimate acoustic performances to expansive ambient journeys and melodic, body-moving sets.

Based in Telluride and shaped by study and travel — singing bowls in Nepal, taiko in Japan, ceremony in Mexico, instrument makers in Bali — my performances weave live instrumentation, looping, synthesis, field recordings, and emotionally grounded storytelling into immersive sonic environments. Most of it is built in the room, in one pass, in front of the people listening to it.

Whatever the form — an acoustic set, a ceremony journey, an ecstatic dance — the throughline is the same: presence, authenticity, connection, and joy.
