A film sound engineer of valor and a man of conviction, Ethan dreams of a revolutionized movie industry that hearkens back to the fertile soil of mid-70's Hollywood. He embraces the duality of human nature, alternately exercising his left-brain with the calculation and perfectionism of his work, and his right-brain with meditative enjoyment of the whoosh of the air through the trees as he sips on Ti Kuan Yin tea and daydreams of futures, pasts, far-off lands, and other harmonies of chaos and order.
