MUSICat architect and founder at Rabble LLC

I work with public librarians who collect and share local music with their communities and visitors.

MUSICat is a turnkey online platform, built with and for public libraries. Each instance is a library-convened locally-governed digital public space to collect, curate, license, and stream local music.

MUSICat is designed to respect artists and support art with its paid artist-friendly licenses for invited album submissions.

“the military’s hypermasculine culture and systematic mistreatment of women play a role in the increased risks of intimate partner violence”

Weak carceral* frame yet important
