Are you looking to dissolve into an ethereal plane of electronic music? Well, hot dog, you’ve arrived. Look no further than this video synth fever dream I directed for @jonie_jonie_jonie ’s ASPHALT. Lots of TLC from a super talented team on this one. Link in da bio. The goof-lvl was high, but…there was also a deeper undercurrent to this one. I feel like the last couple years have been about reconnecting with parts of myself that I didn’t realize were dormant until suddenly their absence was deafening. But it’s reassuring when that rekindling establishes a deeper connection than before, even if it can be a tumultuous process. Aka growth is sexy bb.

Here’s a snippet from the video I directed for @lando_chill ’s Big Light (video link in my bio). • Reuniting with Lando to continue the creative journey we started in college was exactly what I needed coming out of 2020. I’m so excited to see Lando release music this year, because people aren’t ready for what he has in store for them. Don’t sleep on him! • Lots of love for the day one crew that showed up whole hearted for this one. Sometimes you need to reconnect to your creative drive and there’s no better crew to do it with than those that have been in the trenches with you helping you grow all along.
