Eric Meehan · Musician & engineer

Music. Places.
Things worth making.

I make music and films, build open-source projects, and host games. My camera comes along for the places I visit and the musicians I meet.

Made in Raleigh and wherever curiosity takes me. Published on my own open-source-powered corner of the internet.

One creative life, a few ways in

The person behind the work

Hi, I'm Eric.

I'm a musician in Raleigh, North Carolina, and I work full-time as a software engineer. This is where I follow my curiosity through music, films, and projects of my own.

I use open-source software to own the means of production and publish on my own terms. I believe in a decentralized internet, and I share code and educational content to help others build independent spaces too.
