New album SPLITTING THE THAUM out tomorrow 10.3.25 on bandcamp! No oboe - just the sonic witchery of @makenoisemusic 's Strega and 0-ctrl. All purchase proceeds will be donated to @trevorproject
Congratulations @wildup and @orionrountree on being Grammy nominated for their third installment of the Eastman anthology: If You’re So Smart Why Aren’t You Rich? The violin-turned-oboe solo in the title track inspired me to form new avenues between my instrument and sound in a way that only Eastman’s music can do. If you haven’t listened to this record yet (or given it your second or third listen), I’d encourage you to set aside a moment at the beginning of this new year to experience this music. It leaves an indelilble mark that deepens with every listen.

Grasp the Sparrow's Tail features a composition by Yusef Lateef: Romance for harp and oboe d'amore. Miller and Alkis together became a harp for our transcription, and I was generously loaned an oboe d'amore previously used by Robert Bloom in his Bach Aria Group. Oboists will recognize the allusions to Schumann's Romances for oboe and piano 😘 I am deeply inspired by Lateef's legendary life and work, his ingenious use of the oboe's tone possibilities, and the philosophy of autophysiopsychic music (music from one's spiritual, physical, and emotional self) he innovated. Please visit where you can find more about his life, see not only his music but his poems and visual art, and purchase scores. And head to the link in my bio to follow me on bandcamp, album out Friday!

Grasp the Sparrow's Tail - debut release from my project Petrichor, will be out 10/6 on Bandcamp day. Really excited to share this music - made over a retreat-like week home away from home at my mentor Allan Vogel’s house. It was a treat to create in such a beautiful setting without the crunch of studio time. Give me a follow on Bandcamp (link in bio) for the notification when it goes up!

Some favorite lessons from the 10-month massage program I finished in October:
-in order to create a sense of safety for someone else you have to be able to create it for yourself
You also need a safe space to practice this, thank you @hands.on.healing
-we store emotions in our tissues: our nervous system (and fascia) instantly imprints body position and emotional (chemical) state in response to trauma
Massage facilitates both physical and emotional release.
-the body is a pulley system: if something is lengthening something else is shortening, and vice versa. Nothing acts in isolation.
-different massage/bodywork techniques can target the muscular system, fascial system, nervous system, or lymphatic system. From what’s just underneath the surface to what’s surrounding bones and individual muscle fibers
-causes of pain in soft tissues: ischemia (lack of blood flow), trigger points (areas of increased metabolic waste that refer pain to other parts of the body), nerve entrapment/compression, postural compensations, nutrition (taking in nutrients necessary for cellular metabolism and avoiding nutrients irritating to the nervous system) and emotional health i.e. stress
When we pull a muscle or “throw out” something it’s often because some combination of these factors has reached a point of overload and the muscle reacts defensively.
-gratitude for bodies, desexualization of bodies, love for bodies’ endless variations
Highly recommend massage school and @hands.on.healing in particular, whether or not you have any interest in being a massage therapist 😂
