Inspired by a profound journey to Peru that reawakened my creativity, this newest creation delves into nature's wisdom, spirituality, kindness, mindfulness, and gratitude. While in the captivating Andes, I learned a lot about letting go and making space, exploring beloved paths, and rediscovering what feels good.

Inspired by a profound journey to Peru that reawakened my creativity, this newest creation delves into nature's wisdom, spirituality, kindness, mindfulness, and gratitude. While in the captivating Andes, I learned a lot about letting go and making space, exploring beloved paths, and rediscovering what feels good.

This album aims to foster empathy and unity amidst diversity, drawing from ancient traditions and modern science. With interdimensional vibes from my electric violin embedded in lush soundscapes, "Ayahuasca" transcends the boundaries of spirituality while remaining rooted in rationality - and vice versa.

Now, with more than three hours of stunning length, The Theater takes you on an interdimensional journey and psychedelic trip. Submerge yourself in an ocean of sounds and let yourself sink deeper and deeper until you reach the bottom. Once there, meditate peacefully or dance like a Menehune around the bonfire.

I transformed the Static Noise of Ancient Spaces into an audible superfood. I encountered visions of restless Nightmarchers in front of The Big Picture of the Honoka'a People's Theater. There is a lot of Tension and Relief packed into this captivating piece of music, so let The Martian touch your soul and join the psychonaut in you for a trippy Psylent Night. The Haunted Theater awaits you.

Now, this album came into existence at the Big Island Brewhaus in Waimea, Hawai'i. What a refreshing brew of tasty sounds! I named the tracks after their beers on the menu. It was fascinating to experience how the substance alcohol changes humans' appearance, mood, and behavior.

I used an electronic percussion instrument on some tracks and experimented with samples, such as kick drums and synth sounds. Dance and enjoy yourself. Turn on your subwoofers for some extra substance.

My third album, Exhibitions, was composed, recorded, and mixed in a live audience setting during an art exhibition in Captain Cook, Hawaii. I recorded the entire concert directly out of my loop station. Inspired by the magical area just south of Kailua-Kona, I let the moment carry me towards a deep reconnection with the history of Hawai'i around the time of its first contact with Westerners in 1778 in Kealakekua Bay. I let the exhibition visitors' interactions guide me from room to room, imagined the empty walls without any stunning artwork, and created an audible journey from the grand opening to those final handshakes.

"Live at Perfect Harmony" is my debut album. What a beautiful audience, so present and attentive while individually submerged in writing, drawing, moving, listening, and meditation while I allowed my creative juices to flow.

Part of the track "Perfect Distraction" is an homage to one of my favorite Irish songs I found on a CD at my village's record store as a teenager. The song is called "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond." And I wonder why this melody came to mind during my concert.
