October 2023
Hi ! This page has not been updated in a long while and that deserves a little explanation.
Since Covid my projects have obviously been fewer, but that doesn’t meet I stopped working on new music projects, not at all ! I still work (very) slowly, but I didn’t take the chance to keep track of the few important ones on this page as I should have, and to be honest I didn’t do a great job at advertising anything anywhere else. Social media especially is more a source of anxiety than anything else.
I left the U.S. in 2021 and moved to Wuhan, China in 2023. Here I am now actively working on the next chapter, all while finishing my PhD… and learning Mandarin for the last three years. Wish me good luck ! 😅
I will do my best to bring this page back to life soon to keep a better track of the various music creation projects I’ve been working on — the ones that succeeded at least :)
See you soon here or there…
