practice, as distinguished from theory; the exercise or application of an art, science, or skill.
just finished tracking the new quartet record. four days with the most incredible musicians. we recorded everything live to tape -- no overdubs, no edits. the room was small, the sound was enormous. this one feels different. i think people will hear it and know something real happened in that room.
an outdoor shakespeare production with original score. 6 performers, 3 musicians, 200 seats under the stars.
started a new body of work. shooting expired polaroid film through prisms at golden hour. the colors are unpredictable -- every frame is a surprise. first 12 prints will be available through my site next month.
i've been thinking about how much of creative work is actually just sitting with uncertainty. the draft isn't ready. the melody hasn't arrived yet. the right word is somewhere in the dark. and the temptation is always to force it -- to fill the silence with something, anything. but the best work comes from patience. from trusting that the thing you're making knows when it's ready better than you do.
a collaborative sensory experience. live ambient music with hand-rolled natural incense. limited to 30 attendees. brooklyn, june.

praxis grows through trust, not marketing. every artist gets 10 invite codes. if you're here, someone vouched for you.
$10 one-time. your site lives forever. self-host anytime.
126 tests. all verified. all open source.
docs githubyou need a wallet (like MetaMask) and a small amount of ETH on Arbitrum. if you don't have ETH, the onboarding flow lets you fund your wallet with Venmo or PayPal through Peer. $10 one-time for your hosted site.
a wallet is your identity on praxis. it's a browser extension (MetaMask is most common) that holds your crypto and signs transactions. your wallet address IS your login -- no email, no password. as long as you have your wallet, you can access everything.
Arbitrum is a layer-2 network on Ethereum. same security as Ethereum but transactions cost fractions of a cent. all praxis contracts live on Arbitrum.
your identity, follows, blog posts, project proposals, funding, and credentials are stored on the blockchain -- not on our servers. you own your data. if praxis disappears tomorrow, your on-chain history remains permanent and verifiable.
always. fork the repo, edit site.json, deploy on your own server. the $10 hosted option is convenience, not a requirement. the contracts are the shared layer -- your site is just a frontend.
when you complete a project, all collaborators receive a non-transferable token (soulbound) proving their contribution. it's an on-chain resume that can't be faked or bought.
when proposing a project, the team can commit to sharing a percentage of revenue with funders. after the project completes, the team sends revenue back to the contract and funders claim their proportional share based on how much they funded.
yes. journal entries are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from your wallet signature. the encrypted files are stored on disk but only your wallet can decrypt them. we never see your journal content.
we're currently on Arbitrum for development. for production launch, we plan to deploy on Scroll -- an Ethereum L2 with strong alignment to the values of this project.
