Hi, How are you? Thanks for your time, i know there’s only so much of it in a day. Someone more important than mySelf, whose opinions you’re more likely to value, once said:
All of humanity is interconnected like the root networks of trees or mycelium; So when you take in an artists’ work or musicians’ songs you’re interacting with your own creations. And a deeper part of you knows & feels that. If it’s true that the difference between a schizophrenic & an artist is an audience, then by becoming that audience you are saving your own sanity & helping all humankind by shaking your own hand & closing the loop.
in media res
i’ve been making songs since early elementary school, but my first official release (with all the official UPC & ISRC & IPI #’s) only came out now & is called in media res; a play on the latin phrase for stories that start in the middle of things; but here medias is changed to media, signifying a culture completely oversaturated with media bombarding us from every angle. So please excuse the irony in saying: If you want to do your good deed for the day, so you can pass by a homeless/unhoused person & not feel bad if you don’t have any cash you can part with, you can instead help a recovering addict & new father, that not too long ago lived in section 8 housing & was on food stamps (& fresh out of Florida’s finest rehabs & Baltimore’s finest psych wards), by printing this picture out & putting it all over town:
or (because, just joking) you could just follow on one of these platforms if you have them because algorithms are the new self imposed gods of our times:
no one seems to use Apple Music, but…
Promises
i only put out sounds i’d want to hear & words i’d want to read
i think it’s grotesque & disgusting that the powers-that-be created AI that takes away so many people’s jobs without also taking away the necessity of making the money they made from those jobs; so absolutely no AI is used in my songs.
Note: We can go against being force fed by the plastic mainstream system of the beast by being intentional about what media/entertainment/art we take in (refusing to use the word ‘consume’ because despite being viewed as nothing more than ‘consumers’ by them i know that we are, way more)
