I feel like every year I burrow further into life, everything accelerates faster and faster, becoming more complex and confusing (and sometimes feeling so dark and serious). I feel like I’m always playing catch up with things that have happened, processing them weeks to months to years after they’ve occurred, or only fully appreciating a moment long after it’s passed. My best art and thinking has been when i was alone in the middle of the night , with no noise or anything around to distract me.I’ve been really into sitting and marinating in a quiet moment (going on a hike, looking out my apartment window in silence at night, journaling, reading an engrossing book, drawing) and attempting to detach myself from the small details and my day to day worries.

Every night, I wait until the world goes quiet so I can be at peace with my thoughts. Often, I’ll play healing frequencies in the background of my bedroom for hours. Also, I have specific lighting I’ll put on to create a womb-like energy. Then, I allow myself to question things, perplex my intuition, and discover new avenues of philosophical beliefs I have as an artist and human.

I've been growing into this recently.
Learning to be okay with no inputs and no outputs. Eliminate distractions. Step away from the stress. Just for a few minutes at a time several intentional times throughout the day.
Now I'm finding it bleeds into the regular parts of my day — waiting in life for something, walking into a crowded room, even a lull in conversation — the inner silence surfaces for just a moment.
I'm definitely a beginner in this space.

think about it, join me:
maybe journal, maybe clean, maybe egg, maybe egg sandwich. perhaps guitar or favorite record or long shower. refill water whenever you need it. gaze up at a tree from underneath for too long or not long enough or maybe just the right amount of time to realize you have blanket and limitless afternoon and warmth of people you love, and you sit down and look at all of the moss and tiny mushrooms and patterns of the bark and exist within the smallness of yourself in the big wide universe.

The first professional tattoo I ever got was the Elephant from the album cover of The Glow Pt. 2 on my right calf (secretly done in bushwick on a family trip to new york when I was a senior in high school)I found this album in my sophomore year of highschool and it was the closest thing I have felt to a spiritual awakening. It’s raw, experimental, beautiful, and deeply vulnerable. It has been a key inspiration to a lot of my art and music since I was 16.

I’ve been obsessed with video games since I was a small, teeny, little baby . My favorite kinds of games are open world and the really repetitive, calming, grindey ones, and Stardew falls under both. I’ve put over 300 hours of my life into this game and played it obsessively when we were recording my band’s EP “The Gaping Mouth”.At first, the game seems pretty simple. You have your farm that you tend to next to a town full of different npc’s, but the more time you sink in, you realize there’s a lot of depth to the characters, and many different areas and secrets to the game. There’s mining, fighting monsters, mysteries, a few secretly profound lines of dialogue and some really dark but real story lines for some characters.

I was put onto this show the first time I lived in London by our friend and Engineer for the last two Lowertown projects, Joseph. It’s about two fucked up 30 yr olds living in London who are shit people in different ways. They destroy each other’s lives but also need each other to fill the painful, all consuming loneliness. it’s relatable, disgusting, existential, yet very light hearted and completely hilarious.It has become my all time comfort show, and I’ve seen all 9 seasons in their entirety an upwards of 5 or 6 times.
