2022 This video and sound collage is more of a representation of all the sound bits and music I make. in my home studio. I created for ACE via Soundpedro Angels Gate, LA to honor my father. I wish we spent more time together but the time we share is precious.
It kept hailing the spring of 2020 and I had some native corn seeds I wanted to plant from my homelands. i called my father during lockdown and we chatted with deep attention and care and lightness. He said, "just put them in the ground Aim, plants just need shelter and protection." Which is what he gave me and what I try to give others.
