about

As some of you know, on June 23rd I suffered from an unfortunate accident that led me to the hospital. After being diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and three fractures in my lower vertebrae I was sent home with a cocktail of painkillers, a slew of test results, and a hefty bill. Of course the entire heat-dome weekend came along and my caring and loving partner Devin was there by my side doing anything and everything to keep me alive and well. During those hot days and nights I endured amnesia, lengthy bedrest, excruciating pain, and a very small appetite. After an entire week ( that I barely recall ) I began to re-engage, remember things, and regain a semblance of life. My perspective came back and then my deepest fears settled in. Was I destined to relearn speech mannerisms? Would I still be able to play music like I could before the incident? Luckily my neurologist sent me to occupational, cognitive, and physical therapy appointments and I have been building strength and access to what could have been potentially lost.

This collection of 35 practice sessions documents the process of how uneasy it was to play everyday and proof that I could regain my ability to know my instrument with assurance, muscle memory, and untethered creative sparks flying. I feel confident that very little of my musical capacity has been diminished and my overall appreciation for anyone that has dealt with debilitating injuries that have compromised the work and artistry they love.

I wanted to thank each and every person that has reached out to help Devin and I during this challenging time. It has helped my healing process feel well supported by a loving community that I will forever cherish. All the love to you and thanks again for reading and listening.
