Cocooning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am cocooning. It’s hard to know what to share, what is ‘safe’ or ‘fair’ to say. I want to write to be real and raw, to be honest and hopeful. I want so desperately to be seen and to see others, to connect and create, to show up authentically and stay ‘consistent’. I know I’m meant to lean into that, consistently, weekly, scheduled sharing. But I’ve not shown up for months. Because my life went off on a tangent and I went into hiding. I don’t know how people do it, share the painful reality whi
An alt-rock version of 'Dissolved Girl' by Massive Attack... (opens the original)

Firstly, Happy Sunday everyone! Something a bit different today, I have a song for you, just not one I wrote (which feels weird, but also kinda fun!?).Many years ago, I connected with a very clever and talented composer/producer, Joe who goes by Minus Cube professionally.

The only way to counteract AI ‘art’ is to lean into the imperfect, possibly cringe, unpredictable process of creating human art.So yesterday for reasons unknown, I asked my substack followers to give me a word. The list I got was Burl, Tardy, Boat, Manuport, Word, Momentum, Liminal, Glass, Paradiddle and HobnobAs per the video below
Notes From the Studio: June (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I think these monthly musings are always to going arrive 2/3 days into the following month, hope that’s ok :-).I spoke about grief a lot in May, and then shared my song Bloodlines earlier this month and appreciated all the messages and words about that. We share so many experiences as humans and I do think the job of an artist is to pour those shared experiences through our own lens and then reflect that back out into the world for whoever is meant to find it. And it’s such a beautiful, almost i
