“What you have in your head, put it down on paper. The head is a fragile vessel.” — Dmitri Shostakovich
When Russian composer and pianist Dmitri Shostakovich was quoted, things were pretty bad.
Bad for him, bad for a lot of people like him, bad for his country.
I could argue whether things are as bad now, but suffice to say that it’s never a bad time to begin sharing good things with great people. That starts by getting things out of my head and on the page.
So, thanks for joining me on this journey as I reflect on how meaningful music is to me, and the best way of sharing that boundless love with others.

Dave Hampton is trained as an architect, focuses on climate adaptation and resilience and leads re:ground llc, a consultancy providing expertise for the integration of natural systems and built environments to clients in international development, urban, and post-disaster markets. He's worked in some pretty cool places, among them Boston, Chicago, North Carolina, Haiti, and Ethiopia.
But this site is about music (which includes sound and sound design).
Though he tries to continue to play a few instruments, he probably misses those 20 years he played in orchestras - the best model of collaboration toward common goals that he's seen yet - more than he cares to admit publicly.
He started this site because he can't imagine a life without music, can't bear the thought of not sharing great music with great people like you, and looks forward to getting back as much as he plans to give.
