It always enlivens my spirit to be back in the country of my birth. The Spaniards are overall more friendly and outgoing than the average stranger in Los Angeles (despite their socio-economic class). Their love and respect for children also runs deep.

It was really fun to explore Madrid as a landscape architecture student. Europe in general is rich with architectural history and is more environmentally responsible than the US. Madrid is plush with city parks that were donated for public use hundreds of years ago. Mature and healthy trees line the majority of the city streets, and playgrounds with tree canopy abound.

Today marks the 1 month anniversary of my Mom, Sally’s, passing.

She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when she was 44 years old. She battled this crippling disease for over 35 years. In spite of the 14+ surgeries and decades of living with severe physical handicaps, she maintained an incredible amount of patience, positivity and sense of humor.

She knew how to make people feel at ease around her and made an impression on everyone she met. She was so beautiful, smart, intuitive, courageous and strong. She had some magic in her - a strong light, spirit and grace that will always be remembered and admired.

In the past month I feel that I’ve grown closer and gotten to know her even better.

I love you Mom, for all the love and gifts that you have given me.

One of my favorite instruments, the Moog Prodigy. Produced from 1979-1984. Used by Blur, Depeche Mode, Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, and countless others. So much versatility and power in such a small instrument. I love.

I’m so proud that this progressive house track “Running Out of Time” is out in the world!

@mononoid_music has done an amazing job creating a moody and epic dance track with my vocals.

Many times as a musician, one works on projects that may never see the light of day. So happy that this made it out in the world and is getting the attention it deserves (including a @beatport top page banner!). It was written and sung with a lot of heart. 🖤

Thank you @weareiconyc for hearing the potential and to the awesome remixers who killed it on the EP: @franksonic @larsunhesh @kate.ozz & @recorpo.of

Go dance your booties off!

We had such a beautiful time on the sleepy and stunning Balearic island of Menorca. The Mediterranean flora was brimming with health and resilience despite a record-setting heatwave this past summer. Even Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven) added a strong sense of place to the serenity of the island.

We were honored to celebrate the union of dear friends in Mahón as well visit family in Madrid.

A few months ago I started the Landscape Architect

A few months ago I started the Landscape Architecture certificate program at UCLA Extension with the hope of becoming a sustainable steward of the land in my community and beyond. My love of gardening and science, along with life changes and a “sprinkling” of climate change anxiety, have graciously allured me into this field.

I’m still making music and continue to dive into it with more purpose than ever. (More news on that front soon!)

For now, here are some plan view drawings and photos of a 3D model I made of an elementary school I designed. There is also a section line and plan view drawing of a quadrant in Tongva Park, Santa Monica. All drawings were done in pencil on vellum.

@linusandamy outro from “Stay A While.” It was released on our first EP entitled “unhinged” in 2013. Linus (@panic.techno ) and I had so much fun experimenting with sounds and writing this little EP. I love that we were able to convey so much emotion on a techno track, lol. My brother, Philip, did the string arrangement, completely capturing this delicate moment.

Fooling around with “Alter Ego” on the Rhodes

Fooling around with “Alter Ego” on the Rhodes and my newly fixed and awesome-sounding Fender Twin Reverb II. This track was recorded live late one night, as an 8 min improvisation, with my Roland JX3p looping a hypnotic bass arpeggio. To this day, it’s one of my favorite tracks on the album, and particularly enjoyed playing it live with the added guitar textures from @iambadtooth.

Huge thanks to all of my dear friends and extended family who came out to support Douglas’ first live show.

I felt 20 years younger performing with my stellar musicians: Jessica Goodwin (@jessthedrummer ) and Arden Fisher (@iambadtooth ), and was clearly reminded of why I make and perform music.

Special thanks to Christopher Polk (@polkimaging ) for the stunning live photos and @buzzbandsla for the humbling write-up and video.

Can’t wait to leave my heart on the stage again. 🤍

The lyrics for “Clouds” were inspired by a tragic loss. Despite the grief, I realized that I was also able to hold space for hope and love.

Here are the lyrics:
“Trying hard to find the words that will make you happy
Come what may, truth is bending
Looking into your eyes I can see you fading
If you stay, nothing changes

Rain washes down the tears that you left around me
Shadows play, I’m left wanting
Love doesn’t always tell when the ride is over
Not this day, I’m still waiting

Under the darkest cloud
I can see a world, it breathes new
Under the darkest cloud
I can see a world, take me through

Carried along the wind flying high above me
Does it hurt, are you lonely
Falling out of the sky, climb the highest mountain
Find your way, then come join me

Under the darkest cloud
I can see a world, it breathes new
Under the darkest cloud
I can see a world, take me through”
