“It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note. It’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.” — Miles Davis

omniharmonic examines how fragmented modern systems might achieve polyphonic coherence — not the imposed harmony of a conductor forcing consensus, but the emergent harmony of a jazz ensemble where each player’s improvisations create something none could achieve alone.

Post-Tragic Approach

The essays here acknowledge institutional breakdown and cascading crises while exploring how collapse creates space for alternative organizing logics. This includes bioregional networks, quadratic funding mechanisms, commons governance, and cosmolocal production patterns.

Systems Integration

This work traces how forests coordinate nutrient distribution, information sharing, and defense through mycelial networks — demonstrating how economy, communication, and governance can operate as unified systems rather than separate domains.

Deep Listening

omniharmonic emphasizes reinhabitation — perceiving the living systems we’re embedded within and treating watersheds, soil communities, and seasonal rhythms as relationships to tend rather than resources to extract.
