This space documents the journey of creating FREED FROM RAGE AND SORROW; a work of sound, vision and silence.

Born in Venice Beach, Ca. in a home two blocks from the boardwalk, I grew up between Los Angeles and the wilderness just outside the Ojai Valley. My name is my birth name given by my godmother, a pioneer teacher of Buddhism in the West, and has been translated as “providing the meaning”.

Haunting and soulful, my music has repeatedly been termed a return to substance. In addition to my solo work, I have written and recorded with Daniel Ash (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets) and Black Needle Noise as well as with my band The Seraphim Rising.

My visual art has moved from traditional photographic printing to textural and dimensional mixed media. These works incorporate black and white film photographs with layers of paper and acrylic mediums creating window like portals in the fabric of spacetime.

Freed From Rage and Sorrow documents my investigation into the nature of reality as it interrogates personal and historical narratives of oppression, land and identity. Past and future intersect in this examination of time and consciousness through the juxtaposition of accurate visions of the future with traumatic memory loss of lived experiences.

Truth is necessary to heal and healing is necessary to liberate. I have undertaken this journey in order heal myself and liberate the world from suffering.

Freed From Rage and Sorrow is the harmonizing of my music, visual art and meditation practices; unveiling insights into the nature of reality.

The ancestors spoke when I was young. They told me what was here, what was real and what was needed. They showed me the future, and whispered of the past. This land remembers. It has a voice. And it wants to be heard. “Truth is in the land,” the voice said. Stories are written and spoken, but I needed to know. Surrendering to intuition and forsaking the known, I observed in the world around me the path I was destined to take. Relating patterns, unfolding perceptions, traveling this naked reality in pursuit of understanding.
