Back when I first wrote Akathisia, there was a line I had created that didn't make it into the final song. It was initially about a singular person, though I took the line out to make the full song more about my own inner experience.
The line was:
"I'm asking for warmth from the moon<...
2026-01-14 03:47:27 +0000 UTC View PostFirstly - enjoy this silly short recording! This is an adlib that will be a bit buried in a song with a rather busy ending. Wyatt had set up the mic, asked me to improvise a spoken part, and pressed record, and this is what I came up with in the moment. I was thinking a lot about wedding attire s...

Wyatt and I just recorded additional backing vocals for one of the non-single songs on The Grand Scream. This adlib was among the silly things we added in at the end of the session, and will play during the outro of the song!

I spent today doing a few different things, including chatting with Distrokid support about the pre-orders for Apple and Amazon (they said we can expect these to happen in a few days), cropping and sewing...

I initially took these to be part of the single cover, though I ended up cutting out the heart and using it in the single cover instead - I thought it seemed more symbolically legible.
These were taken in my room with an older digital camera while my old phone was struggling due to bizarre...

2025-12-31 16:54:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi! Tonight I'm telling the story of how Akathisia came to life (and was named)! As a note, Apple and Amazon preorders will begin on Jan. 1st, so I'll update either my linktree or the current presave page and blast it out to everyone once they begin. I am going to try to see if there's a way to a...

2025-12-26 02:42:50 +0000 UTC View PostI decided to create a photo/digital collage for this single, just as I have done for past singles as well as the Surgery album cover!
The first thing I thought about were the aesthetics of the...

It will be out on all platforms, for some reason Distrokid only gave me the Spotify presave link for now!!

One time at a party, I met a woman I think I was meant to meet. As we talked, she dropped so much profound wisdom that was in perfect alignment with things I needed to hear. One of the many things she said to me was, "That's life - the forgetting, remembering, forgetting, and remembering again. I...

I thought I would post these here before I post them anywhere else! These were taken by my friend Justin (@twisterfang on IG).
2025-12-16 19:04:33 +0000 UTC View PostMy sister and her fiancee gave me a 35mm camera for my birthday back in May! Here are some pics I took with it (and some pics others took of me at the time)! There are more but they're of people in my life and I want to get their permission before I post their portraits.
Just wanted to give a little summary of what my past few weeks have been like!
Today, I went for a haircut (pictured in the photo with the turquoise blazer and pins). I braved the cold and oddly worsening road rage of strangers and found myself in a colorful little hair studio getting my ha...

Hi everyone! My head is spinning over here as I close in on announcing the first single (it's scheduled to be released in only a few weeks from now!) As I did with my first album and its singles, I've decided to use a collage approach to the Grand Scream album and single covers. You're looking at...

Crochet is something I do to both express myself with what I make and to ease anxiety. Here are some things I've made recently!!
They say that if you don't make time for rest, your body (or mind) will schedule that time for you. I pushed my mind especially really hard this summer and decide...
2025-12-05 03:33:05 +0000 UTC View PostAs I prepare to release music, I'm thinking about and feeling everything there is too think and feel.
When I started to write these songs, there was a lot of anger. I felt I was in several overlapping situations that there was no way out of. A lot of things felt bizarre and unfair and deep...

This is the 2nd song from Surgery that I will be talking about on here! I'll be talking about the song's influences as well as the writing process! Thanks for your support and patience - I was with family on Thursday and had appointments on Friday.
You could say there was a prompting event ...

HI, it was suggested that I try to make behind-the-songs posts about the writing process and lyrics, so I thought I'd do that today! I've linked a song from an artist who heavily inspired By The Willow Tree!
