Sometimes I am scared to sit down w/ my instruments because within 30 seconds there is always something with potential to work with, and I don’t know what to do with all the ideas, so I avoid them by staying away from my studio, or not turning on the equipment, or finding -to borrow an abbrev from @jessejamesreklaw - TTTTD (10 thousand things to do) to keep me away from this never-ending well of viability inside me. I am scared of my own creativity because if I open the faucet it just keeps going and going and it is intimidating to feel so powerfully, actually connected to infinity from within. I am scared of my power… for lots of reasons we won’t go into right now actually. I am scared that the infinite is inside me because doesn’t it ever shut up?? 😂 But I am curious… And full of wonder… About what would happen if I once again opened the faucet, as I have during a few brave periods in the past, and didn’t turn it off until it naturally decided to feel satisfied on its own timing for a while, and if it offered me a moment to rest, and return to other matters. I wish I trusted w/ greater ease what I keep finding more and more evidence of: That leaning into Positive Sensations and Good Things with less fear of my other super important commitments getting neglected, less fear of the urgent… letting a PS or GT crossfade back into these other things in its own natural timing (instead of me prematurely cutting it short to hurry along to the next pressing tasks)… that when I do that, not only do I discover I have more time than I thought (it actually seems to create MORE time, somehow?), but that I also end up just… getting to feel/ experience/ soak in more positive, good vibes. I wish we were all less afraid of connexting to our inner infinite, and less submissive to the tyranny of the urgent. I’m working hard from w/in the luxury of my weird idler+artist’s lifestyle to find the proof it works, bringing it back to others who have less flexibility to experiment with this. Those who are ready to hear what I’ve discovered will hear, be brave & give it a whirl, but only if I go first - leading the way, blazing the trail, seizing the day, being a snail. 🐌

📣🎶INDEPENDENT AGENT - by G.T. Thomas and panda slugger! This is what happens when you hang out with rad people from all over the world on Instagram live for 3 years (shoutout to The Network). @pandaslugger is in Philadelphia, and I’m in Amsterdam, and we first heard of each other when we were both included in Nutstock, a 3-day livestream festival on IG back in 2020. Took us a while to connect on making something together but here we are! We didn’t know what would come out of us smashing our musical sensibilities together, but couldn’t be happier with the result. ❓One thing: What genre is this? Maybe you can tell us? I’ve personally not had this much fun working on music in a long time. Hope you love it!

New single “Time Takes Time” is out now! Link in bio. It’s a song about waiting. It opens with a laundry machine and ends with a cute twisted Latin circus waltz. . . . #scrapfiasco #timetakestime #synthpop #inbetweentime #bellinghammusicscene

Letting go, opening new doors, and the courage to step through them... “Incantation” by @scrapfiasco is out 1/2/26 on all major streaming platforms (except Spotify). Link in bio. —— About the music: Singable melodies that get tugged a little left or right of center by harmony of a higher resolution than you hear in most pop music. This is created by the use of 31 equal divisions of the octave (31-edo), a tuning system where the smallest step size is 38.7 cents, as compared to the 100 cent semitone in standard 12-edo tuning (where there are just 12 notes per octave). While most of the harmony of the song is consonant, with color-altered versions of chords and melodies we might encounter in 12-edo, we often shift between sonorities using the 38.7c step to accentuate their inherent expressive differences.

My latest creation I am excited to share with you is: my new hypnotherapy office, right in downtown Bellingham, WA!! And you’re invited to swing by on Oct. 3 for my Open House. Bring any questions about hypnosis, or just stop in to peep the space and raid my candy bowl. 🍬 🗓 Friday, October 3 | 12–1:30 pm —or— 3–5:00 pm 📍 114 W Magnolia St #210, Bellingham, WA 98225 (Enter the Crown Plaza Building lobby, take the elevator or steps up to the next level. Enjoy treats and coziness in the new space!) I’m also celebrating the launch with a special: 50% off for the first 5 people to book sessions (in-person or remote). Start the process with a free consultation → highlight-hypnosis.com/consultation. I know not everyone here was aware that—in addition to continuing to be a musician and artist— I also became a certified hypnotherapist last November. I keep most my hypnosis related posts separate, over on my @highlight.hypnosis account (follows appreciated!), but I wanted to share this here because, on a personal level, I’m really proud of everything I’ve accomplished in order to get this practice up and running! And it feels deeply satisfying to be able to welcome folks into this part of my life. And on a broader “all of us” level, it’s not every day that a new beginning for me also marks the start of *so many* meaningful new beginnings — the ones my courageous clients will step into, right here from this big comfy recliner. I’m overflowing with enthusiasm for all the transformation ahead. 💙✨ I really hope to see some of you there on Friday! PS- my stereoscopic sculpture “Beyond Presets” that I had on display at @make.shiftartspace in August will also be on display in the office, during my open house!

I’m actually having a really good day!!! Always a good sign when one has time and energy to make a totally pointless video about spilling coffee on her white sweatsuit. ☺️ Speaking of goofy final-faces, who here remembers my comedy series G.T. Journals? I stopped putting them online around the time of some certain heavy world events in 2023 - but believe it or not things only seem to have gotten heavier since then… and I do have a few more I never posted… I feel like the world maybe needs laughter more than ever?? So, should I just post them? Anybody remember any of then in particular that stand out in your mind? One of my favourites was the one about architecture. If I can find it I will pop it in my stories shortly (or other beloved ones of mine I may stumble upon). . . . #gtfunzone #coffeebreak #gtjournals #laughterismedicine #gooddaysunshine #sweatsuiting

🔳🔲PROUD!!!🔳🔲 My first stereoscopic sculpture is on display at @make.shiftartspace in Bellingham, WA! 🥳 It’s also my first time being invited to contribute a *visual* artwork for a gallery exhibit, so I’m really excited! You can see it all August, starting Friday the 1st during Artwalk. The show runs alongside the Radio Forever Festival (Aug 9, free!) featuring Negativland. —— My enthusiasm for stereoscopic art surprised me in 2022, when I found myself accidentally crashing a meeting of the @la3dclub . They welcomed me like I belonged, and —although I didn’t even know what stereoscopy was before that night— I’ve felt at home in it ever since. It’s become a great playground for combining many of my interests, and lets me add “illusionist” to my bag of tricks (a dream come true!). I started with stereoscopic photography, then added 3-D illustrations and animations. (See “3-D” highlights on my profile.) But I’d been wanting to try stereoscopic sculpture— an idea I figured must exist, but hadn’t seen done quite the way I imagined. With no direct role models, I just leaned on my inspiration: the Museum of Jurassic Technology and @ellingson.tv . I wasn’t sure when/how to try it... but then came this show! Perfect moment to create this piece, called "Beyond Presets." The way it works is not new, but the way I've combined everything feels like... *if* others are doing this the way I am, no one’s tooting their horn the way I’m, personally, inclined to (after all the devotion that went into imagining + engineering it)! 😅 In this piece, the left eye sees one sculpture, the right sees another. A 3-D animation floats midair. Your brain fuses it all into one illusory, moving 3-D event. Magical. Sadly, you can’t capture the 3-D effect in photos. (Phones only use one "eye" at a time, so you are only getting half the gist.) But I’ll still share some mood shots from the gallery + making-of. Come see it in person! #gtfunzone #gtthomas #stereoscopic3d #stereoscopicsculpture #radioforeverfestival #makeshiftbellingham #3dartwork
