Paratextures is a new multimedia project I started this year.

It's a completely new style of gear setup for me, something I have never done live before.

Layers of sounds that can be processed, blended, and manipulated live in real time.

See me perform live for the first time in over six years.

Friendly reminder that I sell photo prints.

Don't know what to get your friends and family?

I can guarantee they don't have one of my photos.

What’s on the playlists of Virginia’s 2025 candidates for governor?

I talked to @vpm.org about DJing for @abigailspanberger.com in the past, and the importance of music selection.
