You Are a Wave is a 2022 self-released album featuring many pieces conceived during my time at Mills College from 2018-2020, with many completed during 2021-2022. This album is marked by the passing of my father Juan in April 2020, with the first three songs specifically a processing and understanding of loss. With a focus on voice and Buchla 100, this album is a collection of mostly fixed media pieces and documentation of explorations at school outside of the live performance realm. The only pieces I am able to perform live from this album are In the Garden, Uncertainty and the Unknown, and You Are a Wave. Despite a few pieces completed in the wake of my father's death, there are also songs marked by the joy of being in school and the playful curiosity of experimentation.
