Remember, information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; music is the best.

-Frank Zappa

A lifetime exploring music and I’ve only scratched the surface. I try to ignore arbitrary boundaries and pay attention to the sensory experience — how it activates my frontal lobe and tickles my amygdala. This archive of mixes partially chronicle my musical journey and my attempts at sonic assemblage. Enjoy!
