Best Experimental Music of 2025 on Bandcamp

Enormous thanks to Marc Masters and Bandcamp Daily for including Journey to the Cave of Guanyin in the best experimental music of 2025! This was a slow labor of love and I’m so grateful to Lawrence English of room40.org for igniting the spark to this album, to Janet Oh for giving me time and space to develop the piece at the Asian Art Museum of SF, and to the Emily Harvey Foundation for the utmost precious time in Venice where I recorded some of the tracks back in 2023. (“I thought there was a boat engine on downstairs” - yes, thanks also to my fellow artists in Calle dei Cinque who put up with my late night rumblings.) Most of all, thanks to all you listeners out there who supported this album with open ears. I look forward to checking out lots of great music on this year end list!

Vox Lumina - work in progress at Kinosaito Residency

I spent a month this spring at Kinosaito Residency in Verplanck, New York, beginning sketches and laying groundwork for a new opera, Vox Lumina, set to premiere in San Francisco in January 2027. The piece is an intermedia opera and installation which aims to shed light on the hidden and marginalized parts of our identities. Special thanks to Taína Larot and Kia LaBeija for their collaboration in this video ‘study’ and to Kinosaito for this fruitful time and space. Stay tuned for more on this project…
