Music

Meter

I'm really excited to present my new EP Meter. Four up-tempo tracks inspired by the Make Noise Strega, a synth designed in collaboration with Allesandro Cortini. You'll hear some acid, breaks, synths, noise, hiss, and bass.

Bilateral Stimulation

A 7-minute meditation to contemplate before a nap or restful moment. Best experienced in headphones for stereo effect.

Meditations 1

A 1-hour set that designed to achieve a restful, focused state of mind. It's also great to fall asleep to.

Singles

Ongoing Jamuary releases, singles, and sessions can be found on my Soundcloud feed.
