Playing My World: Helsinki Cathedral

I'm so happy about this I could cry. For years, I've "played" my visual world: objects, architecture, cityscapes, landscapes, and anything interesting. I map the shapes and patterns I see to shapes and patterns on the fretboard. I make little compositions with those shapes and patterns.

People already think I'm weird wandering around town plunking a rubber-stringed bass ukelele, so I've I've never told anyone that I do this. It's just how my mind works. I never thought I'd be able to articulate my way of seeing/playing the world, but now I can.

So here's me "playing" the Helsinki Cathedral.
