Beyond Research / Music

In a different
time signature.

Outside research, I love progressive rock and jazz fusion.

Long forms, unexpected turns, and room to improvise. A small corner of my website for the music I love.

Notes from the listening room
A

Composition
& exploration

Side A

Progressive rock

Music with somewhere to go.

Extended compositions, shifting rhythms, and themes that return in a different light. Here are a few of my favorite records, from Yes and Pink Floyd to King Crimson, Camel, and Genesis.

B

Improvisation
& conversation

Side B

Jazz fusion

A conversation in motion.

Electric textures, rhythmic interplay, and the freedom of improvisation. The interest is in the exchange: how one musical idea makes room for the next.
