Continuing with my on-going project, Public Works as Public Art, I’ve created this piece for the Washington Park TriMet Max Station.

“This is it, I think, this is it, right now, the present, this empty gas station, here, this western wind, this tang of coffee on the tongue, and I am petting the puppy, I am watching the mountain. And the second I verbalize this awareness in my brain, I cease to see the mountain or feel the puppy.

Sound and Music as artistic endeavors tend to exist on opposite ends of a spectrum. On one end, there’s the ephemeral ( a performance), on the other is a snapshot of a moment in time (an album or recording). What’s rare, is something perpetually living.

I saw this short film from the New York Times a few weeks ago.

I gravitate towards work that softens the edges of our everyday experience and spaces. Work that is gentle and unassuming.

Carl Jung used the word 'liminality' to describe that time in the process of individuation where you know you cannot go back to who you were but don't know yet what you are becoming.

I’ve always longed for a more pleasant way to wake up. I’m not a morning person and so the more I can foster a gentle, soft and warm entry to the day, the better. A few years ago I decided to make my own alarm clock sounds.
