Happy to announce that I’ve received an Individual Artists Program grant from the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events for further development on EI HYTTE (THE CABIN), AN A CAPPELLA MUSICAL.

Keep an eye out in 2026!

Saw a screening of ENO tonight at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social in honor of Brian Eno’s birthday. One of a kind film. Perfect marriage of content and form.

Thank you to @chirpradio.org for organizing and thank you to the RNG gods for giving us clips of him shouting at YouTube ads.
