Describe your experience at the residency.: I had a wonderful experience at Sou'wester. I found the staff very helpful at all times I need assistance. I was lucky to work in Cabin 10 and set up a table as a work desk and set up a portable studio. Over the course of those days and nights I was able to work on sonic works without any distraction. The walks to the ocean completely relaxed and focused me and Im so grateful for this experience. I was able to sort out a lot of upcoming work as well, for instance I had been preparing to do some editing for a sound installation that is coming up this summer. I got a lot done, but also gained some real peace for a moment and just appreciation of a solitary act of creativity.
Tell us about the work you made — title and description.: I created two electronic works in the tradition of House Music but more expansive, while subtle and reminiscent of my natural environments. These two tracks were recently fully mastered and will be on 12" vinyl in the fall. I also did the finishing touches on an upcoming release of Drone based compositions that is coming out this month on my label Love All Day : http://loveallday.com/releases/
