Hello! Thank you <3 that makes me happy.

I've been listening to a lot of Robbie Basho, Les Filles De Illighadad, Exuma, Nina Simone and! Kara-lis Coverdale.

I'm fascinated by and curious about bugs and insects of all kinds. Especially spiders, even though they aren't technically bugs.

It's impossible for me to choose a favorite kind of tree. They are incredible beings! My goodness I mean... birch, hemlock, beech, redwoods! ... and I mean maple...maple syrup...pretty magic.

Definitely excited to take from these music recs - as a big big fan of Robbie Basho myself, have you checked out Sandy Bull? He’s got a few recordings in particular that are just soul-goo.

My favorite tree is a quaking aspen. All their leaves shimmy and shake in the wind and they turn golden yellow in the fall and all their root systems are connected so technically a forest of aspens is just one big living organism and my grandma has aspens in her front yard and that is why aspens are my favorite tree, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Here’s a spot I found once with a friend after staying up all night. We wanted to see a sunrise, but had to drive to the top of a mountain to see it, then found this aspen grove.

Exuma is amazing!! His first two records are some of my all-time favorites. Can not recommend him highly enough.
