This website represents my prevous experiences as a musician, educator, entrepreneur, and dreamer. I first used this website as a learning management tool for a series of blended learning courses I was teaching. Later I needed a tool to show my professional development over the years, so I added a portfolio. I have recently been challenged to move into a new phase in my life due to significant hearing loss. I am working through this transition and have been documenting the process as a tool for my own learning process.
WHY A BLOG?
Throughout my carreer in education, I pushed myself to never stop learning, The needs of my students prompted me to stay ahead of the technological curve. As I learned new concepts, I built tools to share the knowledge with my students. I added interactivity to the conceptal studies and built educational pathways including, film scoring, electronic music, DJing, Audio engineering, Mixing and Mastering, compostion, songwriting and more. As I learn how to find peace with my new reality, I have choosen to document my experience similiar to how I built my courses. I am forced to synthisize, analyze, sequence, and format concepts by sharing the info in a blog format. I have no aspirations that anyone will ever explore this site. It is a mere digital fingerprint of my touch with this world.
If you do stumble onto this site, welcome. I hope you may find something of use here.
MY RECENT COMPOSTION COLLAB WITH AI
Music Therapy in Acation
Upekkhā
Upekkhā (Pali: उपेक्षा) is a Buddhist concept that refers to equanimity—a state of mental balance and impartiality. It is one of the four brahmavihāras (sublime states) in Buddhism, alongside mettā (loving-kindness), karuṇā (compassion), and muditā (sympathetic joy)2.
Rather than indifference, upekkhā represents a calm and even-minded approach to life's ups and downs, allowing one to remain unattached to extreme emotions like desire or aversion.
I break down how this was built and the inspiration inside my blog.

Here is the sound of my Tinnitus created with several synthesizers.
This is the fundamental sound that I hear all the time.
When the volume gets loud in a room, an added level of distortion is heard.
