This shoot was really fun. @captaincalebsound and I have been talking about doing a couple of shoots, and we decided to do this shoot based around his sound bowl healing technique that he’s very passionate about. It was an honor having him let me get some shots while he played for us. It was a really chill shoot, and we had some great conversations, and I’d like to get some shots of him behind a full drum kit soon.
“Why separate your spiritual life and your practical life? To an integral being, there is no such distinction.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ This quote from the Hua Hu Ching is resonating with me today, especially with all of the trials and tribulations of this world, where more and more people seem to be met with adversity every day. The Hua Hu Ching is a collection of Lao Tzu’s oral teachings that was BANNED in China, in fact, if it were not for the Taoist tradition of oral transmission from masters to students, these sacred scriptures would have been lost forever.
I’ll be hosting my first sound bath on Monday @electrictiderecords 🕉️ If you’ve never experienced a sound bath, now is your chance to feel the healing frequencies of singing bowls for free! The art of making Himalayan bowls is a tradition that goes back thousands of years, where dedicated families have hand hammered special bell bronze generation after generation. I combine the rich, complex tones of these metal bowls, with modern crystal bowls that are known for their pure, resonant sound. ~I recommend bringing a pillow and blanket or warm clothes, it’s cold in the studio!

“Meditation is not evasion, it is a serene encounter with reality” ~Thich Nhat Hanh, one of my favorite authors reminds us that meditation is to help us remain present, rather than an attempt to escape. #soundbath #soundhealingmeditation #soundbathmeditation #singingbowls
Never would’ve believed I’d have a whole year booked out almost every week, not just performing music, but playing with my best friends. 2025 was incredible and I am ecstatic for what the new year and beyond has in store for us!
