Music as Medicine

I was born in the Southwest desert. The music grew through ceremonial work, through reflection, and through years of intentional learning and playful practice.

This is flamenco-inspired music, not flamenco. I am not Romani, and I am a student of the tradition, not an expert in it. The guitars carry that tradition. What I play on them is my own ceremonial music.

The pieces stay minimal on purpose. I write to the strength a guitar already has, and to what its maker built it to sound like.

I play the guitars from my own archive. Twenty-five Spanish flamenco instruments from 1909 to the present, rare and historically significant, and a different handful on each release.

Nothing is layered. One instrument, one take, whatever it gives that day. Two guitars from the same city a century apart do not sound alike, and the recordings don’t hide it.
