I am a proud member of the United Musicians and Allied Workers Union because i believe that music and art is and has always been the most important element of human history and societal development. Our world as it is today commodifies art, valuing it only as content to be sold and consumed, with big tech corporations piggybacking statistic gathering tools and AI and such so that more useless products can be marketed to us. This pattern of thinking is literally killing the planet. Because of unrestricted corporations endlessly gorging themselves on the false god of "profit", we over-consume items and products that don't bring lasting happiness, only for them to end up in the ecosystems that we and all life depend on for food and nutrients. we poison ourselves in the name of money, which is clearly fucking stupid. we must change the system entirely into one that brings benefit to ALL peoples.
Please, if you are or aren’t a musician, and you see the importance and true value of music and the labor that is involved with making it, take a moment to visit the UMAW website and take action. Anything helps, even just educating yourself on the issues and engaging in dialog with others!

anyways: i like to make music and experience stuff and make music about it and experience the magical, mystical and mundane. probably not unlike you in some way. im fixated on creating music and space that sometimes has a narrative, sometimes not, sometimes it might just not be a narrative that can make any goddamn sense! all in good fun though. i've made some videos and short films and occasionally will attempt to make new ones. i've been making music since 2004 but the most formative important years for me have been 2009 through today. i have (regrettably) been working with the delaware dan lawfirm since 2010. thank you for checking it out. i sincerely wish you happiness supreme.

"words are spells
and fire is light;
when stoked and balanced
provides warmth and protection
whenever I rest here I return to my true nature
the nature of nature
the supreme and all-pervasiveness of love and bliss
at this junction between
self
and
whole
I can hold the immensity of reality at the tip of this pen
returning all the wayfarers to the peace within
beyond here
is only everything"

This meat is an undercover corpse
Animated by tangles of preference
A perfect storm of identity
Cut down by the wind shear of clarity
