Carlos Alberto Alonso’s Barometric Soul is a lyrical collection, tracing the unseen atmospheres of inner life—where memory, perception, and creative practice converge.

Spanning over two decades of thought and expression, these essays explore the architecture of consciousness, the ethics of forgetting, and the emotional physics of art.

From the neural geometry of music to the design of identity, from the philosophy of intention to the quiet urgencies of reinvention, Alonso moves fluidly across disciplines to reveal how meaning is shaped—through rhythm, reflection, and the subtle weather systems of the self.

Collected from four interwoven cycles—We Carry What We Choose, The Shape of Our Desires, Music and the Neural Geometry of Time, and The Creative Generalist—this volume offers a field guide for those navigating creative lives in a distracted world.

It is a companion for those who have lived many lives across time, medium, and emotion.
