Using this set up for ambient stuff. Really fun. 8 loopers happening into Ableton.

Photo of me performing at the Dallas Observer Music Awards. You can see the giant iris projections lurking in the background. Crazy fun night!

A recent demo I did. Incomplete and very ambient. Three Jewels. Named for the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. This song met me in a most relaxing place when it came to fruition.

The path to enlightenment is really very simple - all we need to do is stop cherishing ourself and learn to cherish others. All other spiritual realisations will naturally follow from this.

Demo / song I released for a Nueva Forma comp. One of my favorite songs I have released in awhile. Was just a great creative experience. I was very confused about if I should even keep doing music. Apparently, I decided to.

Old video of me rocking the MPC 1000. One of my favorite drum machines of all time. Love playing the pads like this.

Footage shot with a friend in Downtown Dallas. Manipulated and being projected.

Another prototype of the projection mapped cubes. This was one of my favorite sequences on this surface. Music can't be heard too well. Sorry for sound quality.

Some pictures I found of my projection mappings from last year. Really fun stuff.

A prototype video of my cubes. This is responding through OSC and MIDI with the music being played. Music is being controlled through Ableton.

I recently got to do a remix for my friend Nate who does Answer Page and his new project Changemod. He is a great soul and has some amazing music and ideas. I was fortunate to get to be a part of his EP release. This debuted on Decoder today.

Photos from Exploded Drawing a few weeks ago in Austin. Had a really amazing time. Everyone was amazing and it is such a beautiful space to play in.

Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be acheived unless we first establish peace within our own minds.
