Napa by Gabriel Lora

Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep. / 2008

Napa is a compilation of personal photos and videos capturing experiences, travels, and inner exploration from recent years. This archive includes moments from my visit to an Indian ashram in Bangalore (2007), my debut as a freelance graphic designer and musician in the artistic scene of Santo Domingo (2007-2010), a memorable trip to Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic, with my mom and friends, and other cherished memories.

My musical role in this project involved recording two non-musician friends as they unknowingly improvised a melody on my Alesis Micron synthesizer, set to an analog organic drum loop.
