Very hot and humid day in Detroit. Your RealFeel™ weather report brought to you by Meris Mercury7 and Recovery Effects Pearl. Stay hydrated. Check on each other. Hugs to you all! (Actually never mind. No hugs. We might all fuse together in the heat)
Summers in Detroit rumble with bass. I hope you are staying cool. Staying hydrated. Taking care of one another. I believe in you. I believe in us. Cheers to you all. ☀️🕶️✌️
Beautiful day under the sun and letting mixes of new music drift to me under this tree behind my house. I hope the light is finding you where you are and that you know that you are vast, powerful and loved. Hugs to you all. ❤️
Beautiful day to watch storms build while subjecting neighbors to mixes of new music. I know the world is crazy. I don’t know how it all plays out but know you’re amazing & beautiful things happen everywhere. Even in the midst of depravity. You are powerful & loved.
Profit over people. Once again, a billionaire buys favor to get laws overturned for his benefit at the cost of others. Thank you, Congress, for using HJR 140 to sell us out to foreign interests & ensure more toxic pollution in the ONE PLACE in the entire solar system that we have to live and exist.
Today brought to you by open tunings and feedback fed through multiple reverbs. Know that you are magic and don’t let anyone take that from you today. Love and hugs to you all.
Making noise while my crew and I get ready to be glued to NASA coverage of the Artemis II launch. #ambient #dronemusic #recordingstudio #nerdfamily
Spending time with mixes of new material & sitting with the weight of our times. Tears for the brokenhearted. Tears for the weary. Tears for the angry. Tears for the fearful. Tears & gentleness in a time when empathy & compassion are referred to as weakness. I'll take empathy over brutality any day.
Putting in the work today. Holding the energy. Holding the space. Drinking from the well. Tasting the anger. Tasting the heartbreak. Tasting the love. Tasting the joy. Wading through the flow of time and knowing that all things are temporary. All shadows pass.
For my reader friends... Here's some of the books that challenged me, educated me or illuminated complex issues for me the most over the past year. What did you read this year that you loved? All ears. No wrong answers.
Entering the 2026 with slowness & intention. We’re all part of something much greater & more beautiful than productivity, labor, capital, political parties, shareholders, etc. We are so powerful, so beautiful, so vast. You are worthy of care and love simply because you exist. Hugs to you all.
Grateful for you all. In a world of chaos & division, everything is made up. Money, government, the economy. But we all eat, drink, laugh & cry. If we can do more of those together, the absurdities of the previous list lose their power to divide. You are beautiful, vast, & loved. Happy holidays!
Tonal pillow of noise for drowning out the noise of a world gone mad. Ya’ll take care of yourselves. 🙏 ❤️
Celebrating the last evening of Native American Heritage Month with a traditional Cherokee meal of fried hominy and fry bread.
In honor of Trans Awareness Month, this is why my family supports and provides safe space for the trans and queer kids in our community. We have directly witnessed the positive impact.
Filling my house with good vibes. So much beauty in the world is easily found in oneness, connection, & community. Separation & othering breeds ugliness. May your day be full of connection, community & light. You are vast, powerful and loved. #guitarplayer #dronemusic #ambient #experimentalmusic
This tree reminded me this morning that the world is inherently beautiful and we get to be part of it. It’s only gets ulgy when we make it that way.
Walking in joy, love & acceptance is the ultimate middle finger. So I choose you & us in the one place in the solar system that we have to exist. You are not politics. You are not left or right. You are vast & complete. You are loved. #dronemusic #humanity
A moment of zen in the studio. We have so much power to heal and connect if we just take hold of it and don’t let go of each other. You are not politics. You are sparkly. You are loved. Hugs from me to yall. 🙏❤️ #Ambient #ambientmusic #recordingstudio #guitarplayer #dronemusic #experimentalmusic
In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, here's some great reads from some authors from the Indigenous community that are also great autumn reads.
It's Indigenous Peoples' Day. Their history is part of our history. These were some eye-opening reads for me.
It's Hispanic Heritage Month. I always try to use cultural observances as an opportunity to read books from people in those communities. Here's a couple I've enjoyed from some Hispanic authors that also happen to be perfect for Halloween reading.
When your kids know you well and hook you up for your birthday and the ultimate spooky season reading marathon.
Completed another lap around the sun. Grateful to spend it making noise. I look forward to another feral year of sound, food, nature, and community. You are powerful. You are vast. You are not politics. We are radiant beyond measure if we aren’t conned into believing otherwise. Hugs to you all!
