I read culture like a field site
and hear it like a mix.
00 The through-line
How do we make human knowledge, culture, and systems intelligible to intelligent tools without flattening what makes them human?
The recurring question across the work.
Anthropology → culture → music → systems → AI01 Sound / The Ear
Rough brief.

05 One life / Four tracks
The braid,
made visible.
These practices did not replace one another. They overlap, sharpen, and explain one another.
06 The next room
Bring me the
signal in the noise.
