The Mirror Neuron is an art rock film divided into five vignettes investigating the complexities of interconnection beneath an awakening sun. Mirror neurons activate when we observe the actions of others. They allow us to empathize through feeling, not thinking. The Mirror Neuron celebrates biology through a series of musically driven gestures intended to activate neural networks.

“Somewhere between a video concept album and an essay film… his songs match sparse, poetic lyrics with garage rock, folk, industrial, power pop, often ingeniously combined within a single song.” – David Finkelstein, Lake Ivan Film Journal
