In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Reality is starting to burn through our facades. False narrative reinforcements give way to extinction bursts as the contiguous polarizations of constructs stain the fractious populace. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral Explicit Version PJ Harvey, To Bring You My Love Prince & The Revolution, Purple Rain Soundtrack from the Motion Picture The Downward Spiral pairs authenticity with pop and production prowess. Purple Rain is more layered and complex thematically than I feel most people may realize, plus every song is perfect. To Bring You My Love is perfect. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “The Whirl of the Spectacle” "The Whirl of the Spectacle" I feel like this piece is a turning point in both my composing and production capabilities. I've been pretty eclectic with music lately, but I like this adventure. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Media, medium, and message are overamplified oligarchy karaoke. News is dead, but social, political, and economic pollution is branded and re-branded as the decisive dividing line for those miraculous contiguous polarizations of constructs. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Like our little names inked into the waistbands of our underwear in pungent permanent marker. All of it is brutally overwhelming noise that is subjectively diminished into insultingly banal manipulations.
