Sparklers for the Fourth of July! The audio is "With This Love" (which I recorded a few years ago for a film soundtrack as homage to Scorsese and Gabriel).

"You were walking across the lake..." --- Quote from the song *The Bright* off my upcoming album codenamed *Modern M* featuring my friends and heroes -- the iconic Modern English! (From a photo-series floating in the water 📸 J. Jeff Ungar.)

It has been GREAT seeing the news of Kate Bush's timeless music soaring up in the charts after being featured meaningfully in the Stranger Things series!! Congratulations to the genius herself! (Not to mention ST has previously featured other brilliant artist including David Bowie, Modern English, and Peter Gabriel). Along with the news, I've been seeing lots of Kate Bush art and past photoshoots posted online lately. One piece I'd never seen before was of her floating in water with flowers -- evocative of painters like Waterhouse and Millais. I could not help but also be reminded of this photo-series we shot last year. Water, flowers, and all! It's terribly cool to see the shared aesthetic -- especially not having known of the connection beforehand!

It was exceptional experiencing the Home Body exhibition (curated movingly by @alexrusselletc) and Drone Party (curated immersively by indie rock band The Long Afternoon). These artistic events existed in synergistic parallel at First Friday this past weekend. Both events featured many remarkable artists. Thanks to all who run and support the one-of-a-kind venue @3dotsdowntown for making it all possible.

Happy International Women's Day. So precious the time we have here. Our chance to make a positive impact .... to love, to heal, to inspire -- whether our effect is on a person or two (an animal or two) or many. To tap into something vast with small actions or large. The seeds we plant. The ripples we cause. I often mention the musical heroines Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, Laurie Anderson, etc. In that same breath, here are four more than have caused such resonating notes of hope in so many (and certainly in me). Thank you always to Elizabeth Fraser, Jewel, Wu Man, and Lisa Gerrard.

It was a blast speaking with @immusicmagazine for their excellent artist spotlight feature! We talked about the road here with videogames, films, music collaborations, and -- thrillingly -- my upcoming debut album featuring the geniuses themselves: Modern English! Not to mention some new favourite music from Billy Currie and Sting; wanting to mind-meld with Ada Lovelace, James Earl Jones, Annie Lennox, and Bérenger Saunière; and even a crush I had on a cartoon Gargoyle 😉

I'm happy to play a small part in an epic EP that was just released: THE SUN DESTROYERS by Oldster. Oldster is helmed by composer and songwriter Josh Benash (@joshbenashcomposer) who fronted the band Kiss Kiss, and includes performances from several remarkable artists.
.
Josh's evocative track "The Forever Seed" features harmonies that I wrote and performed as well as outstanding drums by Benny Goldstein (@beangoldsteam). There's truly gorgeous artwork on this single and the ENTIRE album by Nova Stardust (@novastardust) / Laura Carrozza Dutra.
.
Each song on the EP is masterful. I am genuinely moved by what Josh and the whole collective of artists have created. It all blasts you right in the heart with equal measures of cosmic power and dystopian melancholy.

"Leave the winter fast asleep. Watch the forest for the trees. And people turn to gold." These are lyrics from the song "People Turn to Gold" from my upcoming album codenamed Modern M, featuring the truly brilliant Modern English. This image I recently captured as the sun rose after I finished a wonderful day and night working on this song. I so look forward to sharing the meanings behind this song with you -- and the music itself.

Here rises the moon. She softens the dazzling sight of our sun and offers a reflection we can gaze upon, as we sing her praises, even through the roof of the night.

[I recorded this video and audio during the "Super Flower Blood Moon" yesterday. The video is from minutes after the moon rose over the trees in our back garden. And I captured the lovely sound of the bird later that same night/next-morning at 3:20am. I hope you find some enjoyment in it.

Happy almost New Year. The moon emerged rosy and golden this evening, waxing the last time in 2020 ⭐️🌙 The “Cold Moon.” With chilly hands, I was happy to capture this moment, the bare branches already hinting at a spring not far away.

I am honored and so gratified by the BEAUTIFUL art

I am honored and so gratified by the BEAUTIFUL article crafted by the sincerely exceptional writer and person MJ Hanley-Goff for the publication Woman Around Town. The piece references my single and self-directed music video "Midnight Mind.” Here's a brief excerpt (but please do feel encouraged to read and share the piece in its entirety).
.
"Not surprisingly, having a paranormal film on her resume, this original single is hauntingly produced but one is left unafraid, whether of the unknown, of the darkness, or of feeling alone. It’s the perfect antidote to the current climate in the country and in our world."
