- [2003 Charcoal Trees](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2026/07/15/2003-charcoal-trees/) - Charcoal on paper, 18 x 24 inches, made in 2003. Bare branches, a few buds, expressive marks. A high school drawing rediscovered and archived in 2026.
- [Am I Someone?](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2026/07/08/am-i-someone/) - I pulled this out of an old portfolio recently. I had no memory of making it; no idea when, what I was thinking, or why it didn't have a name. It had been sitting in there untouched for over twenty years. In the summer of 2004 I was at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and
- [What Ray Bradbury Taught Me About Letting Things Breathe](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2026/05/21/what-ray-bradbury-taught-me-about-letting-things-breathe/) - I have a folder on my hard drive full of MIDI music memos and rough recordings — ideas I've captured and then completely forgotten about. Every once in a while I'll dig back through it, and something will stop me. Something I made a year ago, maybe two, that sounds fresh and surprising in a
- ['The Tea Huddle' Podcast Sound Design & Jingles](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/09/28/the-tea-huddle-podcast-sound-design/) - My good friend started a podcast about the drama and secret lives of NFL players and asked me to do some sound design work for it. I jumped at the opportunity because I think having a podcast for non-football NFL gossip is original and interesting. The following playlist is ALL of the jingles and sound
- [Archiving Artwork with Precision: Capturing the Truth](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2026/02/23/archiving-artwork-with-precision-capturing-the-truth/) - There is something sacred about preserving a piece of art. A painting holds not only pigment and surface, but time. Brush strokes, texture, subtle shifts in tone—these are decisions. They are moments. And when we digitize artwork, the goal is not simply to “take a photo.” The goal is to honor those decisions with accuracy.
- [Exploring Orbis Analysis: A Systematic Approach to Product Development](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2025/02/26/exploring-orbis-analysis-a-systematic-approach-to-product-development/) - I recently earned a certification in Orbis Analysis, a structured approach to product development designed by Malcolm Knapp. This system provides a way to take a product idea and systematically break it down into four key elements: Schematic – A detailed diagram illustrating the product’s structure and components. Behavior Flow Chart – A visual representation
- [KNOWING YOU, AS ME](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2025/02/12/knowing-you-as-me/) - Imagine a glove with the fingertips cut off. From the perspective of the finger, it is alone. Each finger moves independently. It believes itself to be distinct from the others, unaware that beneath the glove, all the fingers are connected to the same hand. This is how we experience consciousness. We move through life as
- [WE ARE THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE PLANET](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2025/01/29/we-are-the-consciousness-of-the-planet/) - It’s easy to fall into the illusion of separateness, to believe that we are individuals distinct from the Earth we stand on. But this is a misunderstanding, a trick of the mind. Just as the cells in our bodies work in harmony to sustain us—each with its own function, from the heart pumping blood to
- [Redesign - Excerpt from Terminator 2: Judgement Day (Sound Design, Film Score, and ADR)](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/06/28/excerpt-from-terminator-2-sound-design-film-score-and-adr-exercise/) - This 6 minute video was my final project at Berklee. The goal was to completely replace all of the audio with my own original sound design, film score, and ADR. A lot of the sounds you hear are a foley performance done by me. I used some stock sounds for dangerous things like explosions or
- [Hawk-moth & the Hibiscus](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2025/01/17/hawk-moth-and-the-hibiscus/) - Some moments stick with you, even years later. One of those moments for me was born from the time I spent in my cozy 1-bedroom cottage in Santa Barbara. It was a charming little space, with a back porch that looked out onto a lattice entwined with vibrant morning glory vines. For eight years, I
- [Pit Witch - "Flipping the Sand"](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/12/14/pit-witch-flipping-the-sand/) - I'm excited to announce my new project: Pit Witch. This project will be my solo music and sound creations with a focus on ambient, experimental electronic, EDM, global trance, electronic jazz, and spatial genres. The project will be under the Open Ocean Studios label, which is my recording studio here in Santa Barbara CA. For
- [Our Everything Bagel Podcast - Production & Sound Design](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/11/30/our-everything-bagel-podcast-production-sound-design/) - When Dannah and Suzy approached me about helping them create a podcast, I jumped at the opportunity. Suzy is a death dula and Dannah is a all around badass that has created a non-profit to support all sorts of activism in the Santa Barbara community. Problem was, they had never made a podcast before and
- [Audio System Design & Consultation](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2024/05/09/audio-system-design-consultation/) - I'd like to share something I'm very proud of learning; but first some context. I often like to trust the universe in directing me to the next thing, and this time it delivered. I was laid off (non-performance based) from my tech job of almost a decade. Since then I have done some soul searching

- [Redesign - Excerpt from Aliens (Sound Design)](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2022/05/15/excerpt-from-aliens-sound-design-exercise/) - This 4 minute video is an assignment I worked at Berklee. The goal was to completely replace all of the audio with my own sound design. I used some stock sounds but also a lot of the stuff you hear is from a foley performance done by me and my friends. Enjoy!
- [Spotify Playlists](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/10/23/spotify-playlists/) - I'm a giant fan of Spotify. I've been a subscriber since 2013! Before Spotify existed, I relied on a massive 400GB music library that I had been building since 2003. When I got to Berklee College of Music in 2005, the exchange of music was overwhelming. The size of my library had tripled in just
- [Food Actually in the Air](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/07/07/food-actually-in-the-air/) - Did you know that I have a Instagram account where I throw food in the air and take pictures of it? I gained my inspiration for this account because people were posting #foodintheair and the food wasn't actually in the air... They were just holding it up. I thought, maybe we should actually make it
- [Keyboard Sampler](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/06/11/keyboard-sampler/) - AndrewFreeborn · Keyboard Sampler I've decided to put together a small sample of some my favorite keyboard performances over the past decade. All keyboards on these snippets are performed and written by me.
- [Art for Awareness | In Collaboration with the Wellness Connection Council](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2023/04/02/art-for-awareness-in-collaboration-with-the-wellness-connection-council/) - Last year I had the pleasure of collaborating with the Santa Barbara Wellness Connection Council. Our mission was to create a piece of art to display at the annual Mental Health Arts Festival. I was called upon to design a experience for the 9-12 grade kids from SB High, San Marcos, and Dos Pueblos schools

- [Spirit & Body](https://andrewfreeborn.com/2022/04/09/spirit-and-body/) - I decided to create and share my first artwork. The title is "Spirit and Body". This piece arose out of friction and pressure I was feeling from outside sources to reveal personal medical information. I contemplated my own boundaries and realized that my privacy begins at my spirit and body. This piece encapsulates this boundary.
