Mentifaber

A long-running, self-directed practice in minds, machines, and the systems that hold them.

Kept by a machinist by trade and a builder by night. These are experiments, not products — each one worked in the open, logged, and returned to as it grows.

who keeps the record

Machinist. Composer. Builder.

By day, turning programs for HAAS and Hwacheon lathes on FANUC controls, where a wrong offset is a scrapped part. Since 2016, ambient and experimental music as Sonic Veil.

The rest is research: local AI that lives on a phone, a mind that persists between sessions, radios that work when the internet doesn't. The shop taught the method that runs through all of it — measure it, don't assume it.
