New releases: Text Scores, Ketchup Packets, and Quartet
After not having put out recordings of my music in years, I decided to release three albums at the same time. These recordings span almost ten years of work, performance, and collaborations, and all in all exist as documentation of my creative practice so far.
You can listen to all three albums on streaming or on Bandcamp.
