Strands of We:
Songs with nature
This album is dedicated to my children, our children, and the planet.
Since Oct 2025, I have composed a new improvisational piece every week in connection to nature.
As we remember again the strands of nature that are in us and the interconnectivity of all beings, we heal ourselves, our communities, and the Earth.
I invite you to find places in nature that you love and share these songs with the beings there.
May you find interesting conversations in the quiet moments and feel the love of Mother Earth.

VARIANCE
Image: Cynthia Tom
My instrumental piece Variance is inspired by the visual stories in Discards and Variances, an exhibit by Cynthia Tom.
It is an homage to the Book of Stories of our ancestors past-present-future. Their unnurtured dreams, the waterways they have traveled, the bodies that have passed onto us, the opportunities, discards and variances of their lives. And their visions and secret dreams. This piece asks us to take a moment to listen to their stories. And see how their stories are echoed in our lives today.
