Half-life; creation and gifting.

I made a thing.

Borne of childhood doodles, Norse mythology, studio explorations.

A boy can dream.

All kids should have a chance to dream.

As a child I had lots of dreams.

I am grateful to still be dreaming.

Only doing this because of the encouragement of trusted friends.

Inspired by those in my circle and so many gifted creatives across the globe.

The act of creation is a worthy endeavor unto itself.

Who knows from where it all comes forth?

“Ill is the result of letting fear rule thine actions.”

So, no regrets.

I’ll be sharing stuff that I make from time to time.

No comfort in safety.

Safe is boring anyway.

Hope you have a subwoofer.

Indeed, the first of these things I’m sharing is a drone-y sound design-y long-form collection of sonic experiments which I have named “Charts.”

It will be released on August 5, 2020.

(my 50th birthday)

All proceeds via @Bandcamp will be donated to @thelovelandfoundation, whose focus is opportunity, access, validation, and healing for Black women and girls.

I want for nothing on my birthday but for you to support them.

I am the proud and most fortunate son of Norwegian ancestry and heritage.

I benefit from circumstance, created in luck and love, gifted with the tangible and intangible for my entire childhood.

May the second half of my life be filled with creation and gifting in equal measure to the first.

A request of the universe.

A promise to myself.

With love.
