SUBQUiRE · Where You Are I want to jump into a car and drive towhere you are i want to vault headfirst into the exhaust pipe of america,grease-slick lungs coughing love songs through a cracked stereo— windows down, soul peeled back like citrus,screaming at cornfields and satellites,begging the sky for a god who understands late-night highways. your name is written in the vapor of every gas station bathroom mirror.i whisper it into vending...
being serious about practicing silliness in your art you gotta remember—you don’t always need to take yourself so damn seriously. we get so locked into making our kicks hit just right or making our wubs hella rumbly that we forget to laugh, to mess around, to smell the farts with the roses. seriously. sometimes you just gotta play. make dumb, goofy shit. you never know what’ll come out of it. this whole thing started with a voice memo...
TURNING 40: THE ART OF GETTING OVER MYSELF I’m turning 40 soon. And if I’ve mastered anything over these years, it’s the art of helping other artists, musicians, and producers sharpen their skills, find their sound, land their wins. I’ve been the guy cheering them on from the sidelines, subtly wondering why the hell it never felt like my turn.Why aren’t I successful?Why can’t I break through?Why’s no one listening to my music?...
FEAR NOT (Released March 18, 2025) Well, I finally decided to put it out, as a single. There are more tracks from this project (titled “Everything Is Falling Apart”), and I’ll eventually meld them all together into one. Eventually. Let’s call it an “album in progress”. It’s nice to put out something under the Fidelium moniker again. Makes me all nostalgic. This whole series was written during one of the difficult periods in my...
SUBQUiRE · Arrangements ARRANGEMENTS I often have to take breaks from creating things that were meant to be a finished product. Why does something always have to be a product? Why does something always have to be "finished"? This is the concept behind my SoundJournals project, which will go till I stop breathing probably. It is my feeling that as an artist it is sometimes important to embrace the spirit of "play time" -- making things that...
MISSISSIPPIN' MEDITATION Here is a video I recorded around the time I first moved to New Orleans, Louisiana. This might even be the first time I walked along the shores of the Mississippi, at least one of the first times. There is nothing like a southern sunset. I'd just walk along looking at the mangroves, watching the large cargo ships coast up and down the river... and eventually there would be a bench in the most perfect spot where I could...
A LAKE AT PEACE Lake Pontchartrain. This is a clip I took when I lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, at one of my favorite spots: the walkway along Lake Pontchartrain. I would ride my bike all the way from the Marigny, sometimes 7 days a week, and sit watching the boats pass and people run by, waiting for the glorious sunset that happened there almost every night. These were tranquil moments where I could meditate, read, gather my thoughts. I...
RSVP Join me on February 19th at 6:30 PM for an exclusive Bandcamp listening party of ELEMENTS! Together, we’ll explore the six elements that make up the human body—hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, and oxygen—through cinematic, ambient, and experimental sounds.
