Although educated in music, I’ve spent most of my life in psychology as a counselor for the seriously mentally ill and teaching brain anatomy and neurology. I am surrounded by Wyoming’s Wind River Indian Reservation, and am retired, old and arthritic. My consuming passions in life remain roaming the wilderness areas with my packgoats and composing music from natural sounds around me, eg coyotes, birds, trees. I explore different ways a sound can be heard through various sampling tools and effects, which I like to refer to as Electric Earth Music. I'm finding once I do that, I tend to return to the original animal or object with a completely new understanding of its nature. I am nonbinary, which has given me the gift of perceiving the world in an unusual and humorous manner.
