the infinite playlist project

in may of 2010, just prior to graduating high school, I created a mix for each of the four previous years. compiled together, the songs told the comprehensive story of my adolescence.

during my time in college, I expanded the project to include my childhood. the playlist continues to this day, with new songs added as they become vessels that make me nostalgic for now.

the infinite playlist is a meditation on how songs and the moments they capture add up to the story of a life.

“breathe” – with music by JK Hilbert

Composer John-Kevin Hilbert approached me to collaborate on a piece of music in the spring of 2019. In a time of personal and social chaos, I wanted to write about the only certainty of living: “tomorrow will come.”

With words in hand, Hilbert composed and arranged a gospel-inspired piece, performed here by The St. Augustine Chamber Singers on April 19th, 2019.
