about

The Pallid Manzanita (Arctostaphylos pallida) is one of the rarest plants on earth. It occurs naturally only in two very small sites, both within 20 miles of my apartment in Oakland. This music is inspired by walks that I have taken in the regions of coastal mountain ranges near where I live. I encourage you to get out into the natural world and allow it to transform your consciousness.
