JOURNAL
Notes from different worlds.
CURRENTLY
Building a Smart Home Controller for a Seven-Year-Old
MAKING · PROJECT
A small interface for a big imagination — and an experiment in designing technology for someone who does not think in technical specifications.
RECENTLY
A few things I've been thinking about.
01
Why I Fly
Flying is not really about going somewhere faster. It is about learning to see familiar things differently.
02
What an Orchestra Pit Teaches You About Listening
In an orchestra, listening is rarely passive. You are constantly adjusting to things you cannot fully control.
03
Flying IFR: Reducing Complexity
The most useful part of instrument flying is often not adding information, but knowing what can be ignored.
04
Below the Surface
Diving changes the relationship between movement, time and attention. Everything becomes slower — and more deliberate.
05
Reeds
Understanding the craft well enough to develop an individual approach to reed making.
06
Auditions & Performance
Preparation, orchestral excerpts and performing reliably when it matters.
EXPLORE
Four worlds. One journal.
01
MUSIC
Ideas, observations and experiences from music and orchestral life.
02
AVIATION
Flying, IFR, navigation and the perspective that comes from looking at things from above.
03
MAKING
Building things, taking them apart and figuring out why they work.
04
EXPLORATION
Diving, travel and experiences that change the way I look at the world.
A JOURNAL
Curiosity is part of the work.
The things outside music often find their way back into it.
