‘Ruminate Hibernate’ - Multimedia Video & Music Collaboration
Generation Watts is an exploration of the generative process. This involves the showcase of art, music, design, and any creative form that I generate both on my own and in collaboration with others.

Generation Watts Collaboration With Andy Bauer
I’m excited to share this project with you all, a short video that I generated in collaboration with Andy Bauer. The project provides a tasteful amuse-bouche of what to expect on this site.
Some may recognize Andy — a music producer, drummer, and composer with the incredible capacity to mesh vintage warmth with modern electronics. I enjoy his ability to unravel all the little details and his know-how to produce great rhythms that move alongside all the other elements. It’s always a fun experience to study him at work.

The Journey Of
Learning The
New
In the past I have mostly been a participant in front of the camera — in this piece I’m on the other end. It’s a learning curve that I am enjoying immensely, including the feeling of being a newbie again. While traveling back in 2019, I felt compelled to film different atmospheres that I wanted to share with others. I wanted to transmit all the frequencies that I saw, heard, and felt.
Diving in head-first and building new knowledge as we go is an incredibly powerful tool that we all have at our disposal.
At times we are masterful; other times we are brand new. Both roles form an important part of the generative process.
We constantly learn new equations — we teach and we are taught.
'Ruminate Hibernate' is a multimedia collaboration between music producer & drummer Andy Bauer and me. Hibernation is a stage where dormancy can be used to form something new. Rumination is to deeply consider.
Underneath all the snow — the plants, trees, insects, and animals reset, get ready to explore the next stage of life through a big silent re-charge. There is massive power in containing and reformulating energy in order to blossom more vibrantly in the next stage.
This past year a lot has happened, sparking a much needed change. Many of us have realized the innate beauty and strength in nature’s everyday details — all becoming more noticeable in their absence.
