Creative Milestones
Welcome to my showcase of significant projects! 🥰 Each entry on this page represents a unique journey through my passions and interests, from evocative music to thought-provoking poetry to experimental art to occult philosophy—or a blend of any of them. These highlights reflect my biggest interests and passions, and I hope they resonate with your own sense of wonder and exploration.
A Ballad for my Captor
A fable, a riddle, a warning—in the guise of a poem. I wrote it a long time in a frenzy of inspiration, but had always wanted to put it to music. In 2023, I created a reflective, ominous soundscape and read the poem over it.

Enochian Language Modeling
This project started as a curiosity but turned into an aesthetically pleasing dumpster-fire that rekindled my fascination with computational linguistics and digital humanities. But what is it? I'm using computational techniques and AI to help understand the Enochian language via its extra-tiny corpus. I'm learning as I go—come take a look!

Legacy of Mages Soundtrack
In 2018 or so, my brother asked me to write a soundtrack for a stop-motion animation he worked on, centering in on absurd situations you might find in a D&D campaign. I'm particularly proud of the music, and am excited to share it here.

Music in Enochian (work in progress)
My music project blends Enochian language, channeled by John Dee and Edward Kelly, with metal, lofi, and medieval choral styles. The lyrics are crafted from Enochian rituals I've developed. This unique fusion creates a mystical soundscape that bridges the ancient and the modern.

Enochian Gematria (external link)
I had a need: to easily calculate the numeric values of various Enochian words. So, I built a website where you can do that. In addition functioning as a searchable Enochian dictionary and Enochian gematria calculator, it contains Enochian rituals I've concocted in the interest of seeing what I could engineer with such a limited array of words.

Where the Wind Blows Only West
I wrote this poem sometime around 2010, and it has remained in state of near-constant revision since then. I submitted it to a competition at writer's festival, and it won first place for the adult's poetry division. I think it's some of my best writing, so I wanted to share.

12-tone Piano Fugue
Twelve-tone music is seldom beautiful in ways amenable to most people's ears. I decided to take that as a challenge and wrote a four-voice fugue for piano that utilizes an understanding of the twelve-tone system as constraints. I think it's pretty—come listen.

Neo-Burroughs-esque Enochian Ritual Generator
I felt inspired by the cut-up projects William S. Burroughs came up with, and I decided to take it to the next level with Excel. Behold: a spreadsheet that randomly selects Enochian words from the 19 angelic keys from which you can concoct the thesis of a ritual.

Twitch Plays Music
I wrote a twitch bot that reads twitch chat and generates music from it for a performer to improvise to. I thought it would be an interesting experiment. I talk about how I came up with the idea, its execution, difficulties, and other factors here.
