Recognition of Something Lost

A musical journey through memory, longing, and the bittersweet beauty of things that have passed. Speaks to the universal human encounter with loss — not with grief, but with tender recognition of what was, and what remains. Ideal for intimate gatherings where depth of conversation is welcome.
Echoes of Deep Symmetries
Available now
A musical exploration of the hidden structures underlying the natural world — proportion, pattern, and the mysterious order beneath the surface of things. Pairs works from The Mental Cartographer with guided listening that reveals the extra-musical architecture embedded in the music.

What you receive
Inside the Keepsake Box
For the Host
Host Guide — a complete walkthrough of every step of planning and delivering your event.
Invitations — beautifully designed, ready to hand to your guests or send ahead.
Shopping List — a curated guide to aromas, flavors, and foods precisely tailored to augment each musical experience.
Discussion Guide — deep background on the music and themes so you can lead your guests through the conversation with confidence.
Host Script — the complete script for the evening itself.
For Your Guests
Attendee Guides — individual guides for each guest to follow during the experience.
Objects of Contemplation — carefully chosen physical objects that anchor you to the music at key moments: ammonite fossils whose spiral form embodies the Golden Ratio at the heart of Phi, a paper rose folded from the pages of a story, a miniature hourglass, and a scented element that engages a sense the music cannot reach.
Digital Music Archive — after purchase you receive download instructions for a high-quality MP3 archive featuring world-class orchestras and soloists. No streaming. No algorithms. Just the music.
The Experience
An evening unlike any you have hosted
You and your guests slow down. You listen — not as background, not through headphones, not alone — but together, with purpose and with script. The Host Guide walks you through the arc of the evening. The music arrives at exactly the right moment. The Discussion Guide gives you the words to open conversations your guests didn't know they were ready to have.
This is not a concert. It is not a dinner party with background music. It is something genuinely new: a hosted musical encounter that puts your guests at the center of the experience and uses great music as the instrument of connection.
Works for groups of two to twenty. No musical background required.
As a musical artist I have devoted my life to sculpting in the air with sound waves. This is a physical, embodied art form. In our day, it is common to experience music only for ourselves, through headphones. This experience invites you out from isolated experience to create shared connections through beauty. I believe this makes for richer lives.
