Welcome to my blog!

This space is where I’ll share my thoughts on contemporary improvised music. As a drummer and improviser, I’m driven by curiosity, exploration, and the pursuit of honest expression. Through this blog, I hope to present ideas and perspectives that reflect how I hear and approach music today. 

Here, you’ll find interviews with renowned musicians and industry professionals—conversations that shed light on their creative processes and the current state of the music scene. I’ll also present albums that have shaped me as a drummer and a musician, offering my analyses of records I find inspiring and significant. Lastly, I’ll share insights into my approach to drumming and improvisation, my practice routine, and my creative process. 

Music, for me, is about connection — between players, between freedom and form, and between what was played in the past and what we’ll play now. These values guide both my playing and my writing, and they’re at the heart of this blog.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll join me in this ongoing conversation.
