Grateful for the chance to do the music for @aaronwenli's film "悠活 (You Huo) - Slow Living" -- a reflection on how life is in some ways one big improvisation that is best lived in the moment no matter how fast or slow. This was a really fun project and I especially loved playing off of @danielyoung.1114's amazing freestyle dancing!

I'm especially thankful for the trust that @aaronwenli gave me in just being fully myself with the music. I often hold back some of my more intense playing, and it was impactful to be in an environment where I was encouraged to express a range of emotions :)

Lastly, excited to share that this is debuting on the big screen at the Boston Dance Film Festival and Fuselage Dance Film Festival this Saturday!

10.) In-progress pic of the set design
