CURRENT MISSION

to connect people through music and to study the connections that music creates throughout the world

ABOUT ME

I am living in Rio de Janeiro doing a research project on the role of brass brands in carnival, social movements and protests. I am also taking the opportunity to travel in Latin America while I am in Brazil.

PHILOSOPHY

Aporia-it's tattooed on my arm. Essentially a concept based in the Platonic dialogues that means (for me) that awareness of the limits of human knowledge is the foundation of the potential for human wisdom.
