life
A grid of recommendation posts, lists, and opinionated notes about books, records, synths, plugins, and the habits around finding new music.
favorite books from 2025
A shortlist of books that stayed open on the desk, bled into the music, and kept changing shape after I finished them.

A running list of low-profile software and hardware that quietly became essential once they proved reliable enough.
