The Bull is Breaking Out!
This is a marimba composition of mine that I have arranged and performed on karimbas. The painting was created during the process of working on the music.

The Boiling Ferment
Music Notation Series
I painted “The Boiling Ferment” (acrylic on canvas 104x67cm) round the same time that I arranged and recorded this piece of music “Nhem.5/7” which was performed on 3 octave karimbas.
These took place during the process of my partner and I producing 220 litres of our own wine. Although growing one’s food oneself is time-consuming, the satisfaction of doing so is immense.
