Where Am I?
Sitting in a small hut under the Sicilian sun, sipping lukewarm coffee and listening to birdsong, I find myself immersed in the present—without overthinking the past or how I ended up here (not in Sicily, but in this moment). My mind feels like it’s at a creative peak. Everything I see or hear gets absorbed and translated into some kind of idea, quietly stored in the subconscious—like a cow’s rumen, waiting to be processed later. Sometimes I wonder: Why? Why do I make music, release records, pour so much time and energy into it? The effort is immense and often unquantifiable. But then I think of those moments—playing that music for people who truly connect with it—and it feels equally priceless. That exchange keeps me going. It's a cycle. Endless, but beautiful. Most of the music I create feels like self-reflection—a way to process emotions, especially during these uneasy times we’re all witnessing. The world shifts and stumbles, and often all we can do is watch. This is where my mind is at. Physically, I’m on holiday on Sicily’s east coast, and today, July 25th, 2025, I get to witness one of my electronic music heroes KRAFTWERK perform live in the stunning Teatro Antico in the gorgeous city of Taromina. Life feels like it’s unfolding as it should. At least, I hope so. I’m learning to live it one day at a time, with full presence and growing acceptance.
