- Indigofera (100 Creative Days-- Listen to the first 10 days on Soundcloud. I started this project in the spring of 2015 with the intent of creating compositions in Ableton solely using field recordings I had collected that day. I completed about 10 days, and collected many more, but the logistics of uploading new compositions and completing them became impossible once I moved to Pune, India for the summer. Perhaps I will start again another year.

I liked to record myself playing the acoustic guitar on a Tascam four track recorder. I had various names and ideas...the only one I can find at the moment is l’Orient, on Myspace.
