and in each dying breath we learn to survive

Equal, 2 versions

Performed at the Harriet E. Richard Cooperative House in April 2016





Here is an orchestrated version I wrote for unspecified instrumentation performed by the Boston University School of Music's new music ensemble called Time's Arrow.

Ver (seeing) - Live improvised poem and melody

Lyric translation:

Sometimes I can't open my eyes
It's because I cannot face reality
Seeing you look at me is more than what I can stand
Seeing you look at me keeps me from breathing

Seeing myself inside
and imagining the sky
makes everything infinite
and makes life be a rite

Sometimes opening my eyes weighs me down
But it is worth looking in the few moments that life gives us

Seeing you see me is seeing

Night Streets live @ La Papa Cosmica

Anxiety

This is a song I wrote in June 2014 that remains relevant. I am proud to say I finally had the courage of sharing a very personal and individual emotion that many of us share. I hope it resonates with you.

Entre el Mar y el Cielo

This is a collaborative piece made with Susana Aragón made in memory of Paco de Lucia for the Day of the Dead celebration at San Francisco Symphony Hall.

(organ)ic

This is an electronic piece made entirely with acoustic sounds that I sampled, primarily sounds produced by an organ, hence the title.
