what’s all this ~
1 adventure scored to original music every 2 weeks.
we’ll travel by sound + imagination to dimensions uncertain.
each issue’s Side B shows behind-the-scenes life of a super-disciplinary musician: bops woven with photos, words, installation, artist collabs . . .
the final 1/10 is for paid subscribers: I share secrets, gifts, and pencil in coffee with you on the calendar.
your host is Eric Pan: pianist, composer, tour-guide. check out albums released, official website, live/music videos, and the revolutionary Piano Liberation Workshop — start improvising now, no matter your level, why not from scratch?
