Enter the Ether
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >>>>><<<<<ABOUT
This is a little bit about my origins:
I grew up in the forest. I started drawing at a young age to entertain myself, and developed a strange, somehow devotional commitment to both art and athletics. Around age 16 I began to focus heavily on the visual arts, particularly painting and film. I started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 22. When I look back on my life,- As a child, as a teenager, as a college kid, and now whatever I’ve become in the post-grad world, I can only say that a through-line has always been to me that things feel immensely dramatic. There has always been a strange vibrancy and heaviness that life has seemed to lay upon itself, things have always felt so deeply intense and loaded. I think my tendency to obsess over the mediums of cinema and music have a lot to do with this point of view – That there is some great mysterious tension underlying everything, that there is some pregnant light shining on the world. At many points I still feel myself as the child lifting rocks in the yard to see if there are bugs crawling beneath, holing up in the darkness.
