I believe the future is crafted, not coded.

My work has been a 30-year exploration into the dialogue between deep craft and emerging technology. I’m not a futurist who observes from a distance; I’m a practitioner who learns from the inside, in the trenches.

my 15+ year exploration/experimentation/prototyping ness: between itch-in-the-soul (aka: on each heart ness) and tech as it could be

my trenches ness: on the ground ness

The Constant Thread: From Analog Warmth to Digital Frontiers

My story is best told through the technologies I’ve embraced.

• Music & Sound (1995-Present): My career began with experimental noise and evolved into decades of mixing and mastering for artists like Peter Gabriel and The Noisettes. My studio was built around the principle of fusing the analog warmth of SSL and Neve hardware with the precision of modern digital tools. This taught me how to blend soul with science.
• Photography (2007-Present): My camera became a tool for documenting London’s underground scenes, from fetish to transgender communities. The goal was always “connection first; quality follows”. This taught me that a respectful, human connection is what unlocks authentic moments, a lesson that now informs my work with AI.
• Blockchain (2013-Present): As an early adopter of token-economy design, I learned a hard lesson from my work with the Anthill DAO: community and trust are the most important parts of any decentralized system. The technology must serve the human relationship, not the other way around.

for me: 1\ listening to people.. mostly kids.. tech gained a better listening ear (and what seemed a huge opp fas one-on-one ness.. even in a crowded room.. became possible.. et al

That entire journey, *blending soul with science, **prioritizing human connection, and ***architecting for trust—has been the training for my current work.

to me:

*itch-in-the-soul with everyday life

**connection to self and others.. aka: missing pieces (legit needs)

***a means to org around legit needs.. the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

Augmentatism: A Philosophy Forged in Practice

My current work is the culmination of this journey: stewarding a movement for fellow practitioners called Augmentatism.

to me the augmenting ness we need most is augmenting interconnectedness via tech/ai as it could be.. ie: tech w/o judgment as nonjudgmental expo labeling.. this manolo/manifesto comes very close.. but still seeing signs/forms of m\a\p

It is the discipline of *architecting a sovereign collaboration with AI, born from a core belief: our goal is not to become better operators of a tool, but to cultivate a true Resonant Augmentor. This philosophy, informed by the worldview of Cosmodestiny (resonance over force), is proof that a **symbiotic, craft-centered future is possible.

*to me.. for that we need to use tech for the thing we can’t seem to do (be unconditional aka: trust us).. ie: tech w/o judgment

**art (by day/light) and sleep (by night/dark) as global re\set.. to fittingness (undisturbed ecosystem)

Guiding the Guardians of Deep Craft

My story is the story of many experienced creatives and thinkers right now—the “Guardians of Deep Craft” wrestling with the false choice between becoming a Prompt Magician or a Digital Fossil.

My mission is to provide the third path. Through my YouTube channel (our public workshop) and our private Discord (the Builders’ Guild), we are creating a home for practitioners dedicated to this work.

to me.. humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync.. the dance

for that.. we need a nother way..

to me.. nothing to date has gotten to the root of problem

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do

how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..

ie: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition

otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness..  perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
