My third album, Exhibitions, was composed, recorded, and mixed in a live audience setting during an art exhibition in Captain Cook, Hawaii. I recorded the entire concert directly out of my loop station. Inspired by the magical area just south of Kailua-Kona, I let the moment carry me towards a deep reconnection with the history of Hawai'i around the time of its first contact with Westerners in 1778 in Kealakekua Bay. I let the exhibition visitors' interactions guide me from room to room, imagined the empty walls without any stunning artwork, and created an audible journey from the grand opening to those final handshakes.
