Recordings & Musical Compositions

My work sits at a crossroads between the ancestral and the avant garde, using hand-built musical instruments in dialogue with digital music technologies to explore the ways in which sound and music can facilitate a connection with the sacred.

Confluences

Featuring field recordings from Maryland, New York, Delaware, Sierra Nevada in Colombia, and Chubut in Argentina; and handmade flutes  played and recorded by community members, on clay flutes that they built themselves in workshops with me between 2022-2024.



Palingenesis

Composition for hand-built triple flute, tree branches, field recordings, and electronics. The piece is a contemplation on the circular nature of time, both in relation to natural cycles, and the processes of inner healing.

Whewan

Improvisation with found natural instruments, handcrafted horn and flutes, and electronics.

Innervision

Electroacoustic composition created with electronic and hand-built musical instruments including double flute, noise generator, rattles, and turú.  The track was released as part of the international electronic music compilation album “Querencia” through Berlin-based music label Shika Shika. 

Sample Pack, released with Shika Shika
