new beat explores bricks & blocks:

-@Pharrell's new direct-to-fan album
-the importance of play: "the opposite of play isn't seriousness, it's depression"
-a poem about toppling empires w/ only the letter 'c'

may it be a catalyst to your own creativity & a call to caper

Sharing the most recent edition of pariah carey, where I minted my piano track "Transom" on @catalog (for Piano Day!) and wrote about the experience.

The big picture takeaway is: the more we normalize systems of care, the more pressure we apply to systems that don’t.

will emerging alt social networks help topple our culture of distraction?

latest beat (my music newsletter) is a deep, contextual dive into @farcaster Frames, creator engines, dopamine culture, and a return to ritual 🌻

we covered a lot of ground, but the bit that stuck with me most was remembering to reach back + lift up, even while you're still climbing yourself

last week at at Music Ally's NEXT event in London, some folks really showed up & evidenced the sublime weirdness of on-chain music culture when it's at its best 🌻

enjoyed connecting with Athena Yasaman about the importance of curation -- now and forever -- as a form of caretaking...tending to our musical gardens 🌻🌱

does anyone know good ways to balance/automate content sharing across twitter + farcaster + lens (or two of the three)?
this convo happened a little while ago now but it still resonates. I love Jon's mind, and his story across Abbey Road Studios + The Rattle -- exploring the intersection of music & tech on behalf the artists + pioneers -- is one worth listening to.

profiled the label Dreams Never Die & explored AI, curation & web3 - grounded in Philip K. Dick's eternal q: do androids dream of electric sheep?

“It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation,” reads one of the novel’s lines. “This is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life.”

I spoke w/ the artist Heno about:

-life
-paying it forward
-using music to drive social impact

Stay tuned for a new project we're working on that grew out of this convo 🌻 an important reminder that you never know when the universe might conspire in your favor ✨
