I love sound. I love the exploration of consciousness. I am blessed two get to focus on these in both of my 'jobs' these days. As the Director of Audio Engineering at the Monroe Institute I get to work with an amazing team exploring the consciousness, and how different states can be reached and experiences triggered using brainwave entrainment techniques. In my band, Silvermouse, I get to explore the relationship of live music and its connection to the ecstatic state and the psychedelic mind. I also get to improvise deeply in the language of my soul with my life partner who also happens to be the other half of the band. It is pretty fantastic. This year, I am starting to merge the two, experimenting with using Monroe Sound Science in our band's recordings and live performances, and trying to get creative with musical production for the Monroe Institute. If you want to talk about brainwave entrainment, the relationship of musical techniques to emotional experience, or just how real this reality is, hit me up. I'm also the founder of Pirate & Fox. If you are here because of that, you are in the right place, I just don't have much to say about it right now.
