For people who build things.
Explore stories, people, places, ideas and interactive experiences for curious people building businesses, communities, creative work — and themselves.
Symphonic Soul
Follow your curiosity.
Part publication, part playground, part resource network. We explore interesting people and places, turn conversations into interactive experiences, and connect useful ideas with people who can help bring them to life.
For people who make, explore, question, learn, move, experiment and build.

Building With the High Desert
A Santa Fe home can do more than sit in the landscape. Desert Modernism shows how glass, horizontal planes and carefully considered view corridors can make the landscape part of the experience.

A Different Way to Explore Santa Fe
Santa Fe is easier to understand when places, local knowledge, history, food, art and outdoor experiences can be explored together instead of as disconnected search results.

Lone Loba: Conversations That Go Somewhere
Lone Loba starts with conversation, but the goal is bigger: preserve useful experience and connect it to people, places, resources and ideas others can actually use.

What Happens When a Website Becomes Something You Can Play With?
Websites do not have to be pages people passively read. They can react, recommend, challenge, match, visualize and invite people to participate.

Conversations that go somewhere
Lone Loba
Long-form conversations with creators, founders, builders, artists and people whose experience is worth passing forward.
The conversation is only the beginning. Follow the people, places, books, businesses, tools and ideas that come out of it.
Three ways in
Explore the world — and yourself.
The Playground
Games, art & experiments.
Symphonic Soul is a place to use the things we build, not just read about them.
For people who build things
Build something.
A growing collection of people, tools and practical resources for starting, running, protecting and growing the things you care about.
Eventually: make this a matcher.
“Tell us what you're building and what's getting in the way.” Then route people to relevant stories, tools, partners and services.
Behind the experience
Who built all this?
I'm Josh Gallegos. I design and build software, websites, prototypes, games, interactive experiences and digital tools for businesses, startups and people with unusual ideas.
The commercial side of Symphonic Soul still lives here — it just no longer has to be the only reason someone visits.
