A film by Lorenzo Gattorna and Armand Tufenkian
As part of the Refuge Arts Residency June 2017, I wrote the music for a re-telling of the Mad Hatter’s story (from Alice in Wonderland).

I worked primarily with a Steinway upright piano, Yamaha CP-70, and Vibraphone in a beautiful chapel. When I wasn’t writing music, I was reading The Way of Chuang Tzu (Thomas Merton Translation) and journaling.
Here are some clips of some of the music I wrote during the weekend:
