It’s been a busy few months. Busy, in my mind, means that everything you do has a purpose and a preferred outcome. One of the reasons I love jamming on the modular is the lack of purpose and the unexpected twists and turns that arise. Nothing patched and nothing planned.

UNP002 Just Get On With It

Happy Holidays! In many respects, this was a year of extremes. Profoundly striving for change or guarding against it. But we’re not that important.
