what’s all this ~

each issue starts with an adventure, scored to original music. 1 every 2 weeks.

we’ll travel by sound + imagination to dimensions uncertain.

the Side Bs of each issue show behind-the-scenes life of a multi-disciplinary musician: mostly music, mixed with photos, words, installation, collaboration . . .

your host is Eric Pan: pianist, composer, tour-guide. check out albums released, official website, live/music videos, and the revolutionary Piano Liberation Workshop — (if you’d like to start improvising immediately, at any level of musical expertise, even from scratch).

free vs. paid vs. founding

your support at any level is appreciated — it’s simply wonderful to have you here.

all subscribers receive issues bi-weekly: music adventures + Side Bs.

paid and founding subscribers get special perks on top:

  • exclusive new music sent to you

  • limited-edition & 1/1 gifts

  • access to secret plans far in advance

  • dastardly surprises to come 🍓

if you can’t afford a paid subscription, scholarships are available — send me a message!

founding members currently have the same perks as paid subscribers, though that will diverge in the near future.

you are always welcome to stay on as a free subscriber. you may also gift one-time support by buying an album or donating.

thank you!
