This album was created over the course of a year in Honolulu, Hawai'i (the unceded land of the Kanaka Maoli). Inspired by the ocean, it is my hope that this music will heighten the listener’s daily life by evoking emotions of empathy, connection and compassion to oneself. Specifically using the pulses inspired by the ocean and interpreting these naturally occurring frequencies and rhythms to serve and affect the human body in more emotive ways.
The physical copies of the album have a very limited pressing of 10 unique copies featuring original art by myself with a handmade CD case.The abstract drawings themselves explore the natural color palettes of the ocean, then color matched and recomposed in blended gestures of sketch work inspired by the rhythms of the music. This art will not only act as a translation of the music, but also as a reference therapeutic color, inspired by the lineage of color therapy in ancient Egypt, Greece, China and India.

contemplative, introspective music. Patrick is one of the leading players in the avant garde and experimental jazz scene on the west coast. His catalogue is prolific, so dive in! Jessica Ackerley
Andrew Smiley is a singular voice on guitar. Having played in many note-worthy jazz projects in the NYC scene, his strat playing is an instantly identifiable sound both sonically and as an improviser Jessica Ackerley
Camila has been one of my favorite sax players coming up in Avant-Garde jazz in the recent years. A strong balance of composition and improvisation with some of the most cutting edge musicians. Jessica Ackerley
