Audio Sketchbook // Ambient Guitar Improvisation

Some days, stillness doesn’t come easily.
I didn’t feel ready. My body was tense. My mind was restless.
But I showed up anyway.
I played through the discomfort—not to escape it, but to try and get through it. Its wild how simply pressing record suddenly adds a layer of tension to body and mind, how quickly I become self aware of "mistakes" and how my inner dialogue can be my own worst enemy.

Growth can be uncomfortable.
Not graceful, but real.
Regardless if these videos translate to anything meaningful to anyone else, they serve as an opportunity to relax into myself and learn how to let go and anchor in the moment.

A quiet effort to hold space… and be held by it in return.

If you're navigating your own noise, you’re not alone.
You’re welcome to listen, breathe, and be here with me.

This is part of an ongoing series of real-time improvisations—sessions where I center myself through sound, navigating presence, breath, and self-doubt in the moment.
These aren’t polished performances. They’re rituals. Honest attempts to hold space through music.
