Ep. 4: This Fragmented Life: Time with the Stars
This Fragmented Life is a phrase where this world is broken into very small pieces and broken into fractions. From having dreams with my siblings to connecting with my father when he was traveling on a boat to America, different fragments of the past presented themselves as I explored Munich, Germany. I ended up taking many wrong turns, but with each one, there was always something new to learn. Title Inspiration: Kamiak Winter Percussion performance - This Fragmented Life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8HCjpxM59g&feature=emb_title) in 2012. I was in middle school at the time, but when I was in winter percussion, I recall watching this many times.

Ep. 3: The Razor’s Edge: A Start of a New Journey
The Razor’s Edge is an idiom where you are in an uncertain or dangerous situation. Traveling to Europe alone was the next big step in my journey of life. I had no idea what was going to happen when I first made it there. I did minimal research because I wanted to approach it one step at a time. From the moment I woke up to board my plane to the time I returned back from Oktoberfest, I was living on the edge of life. Title Inspiration: Rhythm X’s performance - The Razor’s Edge in Dayton, Ohio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj1ke5GWcs4) in 2014. This year was when I traveled to Dayton, Ohio to compete in the Percussion World Championship.
