In philosophy of mind, qualia are the raw, subjective “what it is like” aspects of conscious experience. They are the felt qualities of experiences, such as what it is like to see purple, taste coffee, feel pleasure, or hear a string note.

This is the second edtion in the new Qualia release series of ambient music, exploring the intimate textures of perception and sound.

I’m still in the early stages of introducing this series, so the download is free. If you’d like to support me, you can get it for whatever price you want (‘name-your-price’)

Slipwater Listening Party
March 27, 2026
9:00 PM CET / 4:00 PM EST

Not the kind of water that moves gently. Slipwater is water forcing its way through something, through rock, through sediment, through the particular silence that settles between two people working in the same space.
These two pieces were built in layers, each pass leaving a residue. Not live, not spontaneous, but not calculated either. Something closer to erosion: slow pressure applied until the material gives way and reveals what was underneath.
Two tracks. One current.
