I am surprised and honored that the film VENUS (2021) which I scored and collaborated with @viviangiourousis was named as an “Honorary Awardee” by the Tagore International Film Festival in Bolpur, India this year. This award recognizes the most memorable work within the past five years. I’m very humbled to be recognized through the aura of a master such as Tagore. Sat Nam 🙏
✨ Sedona Vortex Sutra is here ✨
Woven from journal entries written along my Neptune line, Sedona Vortex Sutra is part travelogue, part dream-soaked photobook—capturing a mysterious encounter in a Whole Foods parking lot that ultimately led me to Sedona, documented on 35mm film.
📖 All proceeds go toward expanding my small sound healing business in Memphis, helping fund instrument repairs and community programming.
If you’ve ever enjoyed my work, this is a beautiful way to support it. Link in story 🌀

His 2024 album 'Stellium' was released on Thisco Records. His work has been presented at The New York City Independent Film Festival, The Tagore Film Festival in India, and Ecos Urbanos Sound and Transmedia Festival in Mexico City. He is the founder of 'Celestial Sound Bath' in Memphis, where he leads immersive sound and meditation experiences. He also serves as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Reiki facilitator, integrating poetry, mantra, and electronic composition into a contemporary healing practice. His music is available on Bandcamp and streaming platforms.

The Memphis Concrète Scrap Metal Orchestra is an elite unit of cyborgs sent to us from the year 2070. Their purpose is unclear, their intentions are unknown. Upon arrival in our current timeline, they contacted the authorities at the Memphis Concrète Electronic Music Festival demanding a cache of inert matter: petrochemical oil, clothing, and metal. Their only other demand was a platform to deliver a message. At the end of May, this message will be delivered to the Memphis Concrète Experimental Electronic Music Festival in the Crosstown Arts Green Room. Whether this is a message of peace, hope, or something more sinister...only time will tell. The one thing for certain is they are not going back.

🌕✨ New Single: Ayka Maaee (One Divine Mother) ✨
I’m so excited to share Ayka Maaee with you just in time for the full moon in Gemini—the last full moon of 2024. This piece came through on 12/12, aligned with the energy of the divine mother’s appearance day in Mexico, and infused with Aquitanian Christmas music.
It is said that the Thirtieth Pauri places you upon the throne of your divinity, that the entire knowledge of the entire universe comes to you. It holds the resonance of deep wisdom, devotion, and light.
Let it carry you into the embrace of the solstice and beyond. Available on Bandcamp. 🌌🎶 link in bio

The people I vibe with lift me up, and the ones I don’t? They’re like mirrors. They teach me how to love myself even more. I choose to step into my own greatness. I surrender to the greatness of all. 🪷
