huge shoutout to mau @cinestesi.a + lulo @sona___space for helping facilitate one of my favorite live shows in my 25+ year career. honored that all 4 performances were sold out. also shoutout to rod for engineering the performance - a first for all of us. i’ve dreamed of doing a 4D / surround sound guitar set for a long time, and i can’t thank you all enough for giving me the opportunity to make it happen. incredible to be part of the first Dolby performance in Mexico. can’t wait to see what’s next for sona + cinestasia. thank you as well to leslie @desglosestudios for hosting the dinner + performance in her beautiful studio. and thank you to everyone who came out and shared in this collective experience. i genuinely appreciate how open and present the energy is here - it meant a lot to connect and spend time with so many of you. hope to be back in CDMX very soon. thanks as always for listening + the support, chris

Sitting with discomfort. What happens when a fashion house and an artist refuse comfort? In this new Journal article, Fashion Marketing Management student Alara Arslan speaks with Christopher Royal King, the multidisciplinary artist behind Valentino’s DeVain campaign, to explore image-making in the age of AI. The conversation moves beyond the usual pro- or anti-technology debate. Instead, it asks something more difficult: what if discomfort is necessary? What if the images that disturb us are the ones worth staying with? From the uncanny valley to the mutable body, from dream logic to AI as a mirror, the interview examines how fashion can remain culturally alive by asking bigger questions rather than offering easy answers. If fashion is to evolve, it may not be by avoiding new tools, but by using them with intention and the courage to remain unresolved. Read the full article on Journal.

Excited to be full on touring again for the first time in 5 years to perform @thiswilldestroyyoumusic “another language”. So proud of this record and can’t wait to play these songs in full with 100% live instrumentation. First show in Seattle was a blast - can’t wait to share the live set with everyone. @mydreamage will be opening the Nashville and Austin TWDY shows followed by a small run of shows including @flyingisland festival in marfa + live score residency in New Mexico with @shed_project Releasing a solo record under the moniker “Spiritual Violence” More of my singing/ classical/shoegaze stuff I’ve been sharing lately. LP pre-sale/ label announcment coming soon. Also putting the finishing touches on a LP collaboration with @absentwarrior . the project will be called graybaths. ethereal club bangers mixed with hauntology style ambience with @absentwarrior signature vocal processing Appreciate all the friends and family that supported me and excited to see some old friends out on the road. If anyone I know out there plays tennis holler at me. Trying to get a few sets in. xoxo
