I'm an acoustical person.

Each environment has its own signature. Sound tells a story: You make choices about what you're hearing, where to look, how you want to feel about what's going on.

Describing certain sounds, there's a common language that guitar players have.

I think of real estate as a little bit like cooking or like art.

Sometimes you move publicly, sometimes privately. Sometimes quietly, sometimes at the top of your voice.

In the right context, you can make ugly sounds, different sounds feel right at home.

There are certain sounds that I've found work well in nearly any context. Their function is not so much musical as spatial: they define the edges of the territory of the music.

Commercial real estate is really a black box: its super opaque, and it's hard to get the information.

For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live.
