Typing this while in full recovery mode, and still so incredibly grateful for this past weekend. This was a very special time for me, it’s been 6 years since my dad passed away and his birthday marked the beginning of the weekend when I found out I was playing the Gobi Main Stage. I really felt that the timing of everything just fell into place with this new phase in life and with music festivals returning after so fu*king long. Thank you to everyone who has shared kind words, supportive messages, and videos with me over the last few days! It really warms my heart and motivates me to keep making music and continue doing what I love. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, it had been 2 years since I’ve played a show or put myself out there at all for a long while or even mustering up the courage to sing live. I spent a lot of time working on other things to get my mind off of feeling so depressed with everything shutting down but also met some amazing folks that taught me a lot about what it means to work on their craft and inspired me beyond words. (I would tag you all if i could 🥺🍪✨🎤🎸🎨🐎). Even leading up to this moment, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel playing music again even though I’ve been doing this in some capacity for most of my life. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to share what I do with you all and hope to keep moving forward with this experience so fresh in my mind. From the bottom of my heart thank you to @beatcinema for giving me so many opportunities to share my music and everyone that has been apart of this journey with me—from catching DIY shows in my hometown, coming to @condinarecords events, to making beats in my bedroom, to baking croissants, to @coachella and everything in between. More to come! Also who really has the biggest teef in the game—me or @anderson._paak bc it might be a tie smh

I feel very loved, supported, and grateful for the life I’ve lived so far. Thank you to everyone who has made this year so special and each and every one of you that has reached out and kept in touch with me! I miss y’all. Still chipping away at some music (got a snippet of a collab on the first slide🥳) but just wanted to drop in and share my gratitude! 🥲💕🥰

Tomorrow night 3/3 I’m going to be at @melody lounge from 9-11 for @explorare_la show! I’ll be serving up some Filipino onigiri and a special dessert 🍨! Very excited for this bc i have always wanted to try making ice cream! Come early if you want some! While supplies last (and they go quick! 😅)

Been around the world n ay ay ay 😵‍💫 📍Greece (Monemvasia / Athens) 📍France (Ferney-Voltaire) 📍Switzerland (Geneva / Zürich C.G. Jung Institut) Got some @baonbyjillesque events going on the end of this month and into March and posting the info live to stories! Also reading a lot rn and have some .pdfs to share if you wanna have a lil at-your-pace book club w me

Blue (May, 2020) Music video, digital file with analog VHS processing, 1:42 by @visualesdekari Title Track by @jillesque and @flat__stan Kari Cortez’s work treats video editing as a human excavation, revealing life within images, sound, and signal. VHS glitches, tracking errors, chromatic bleed, and temporal slips become the structure itself. Tape noise and dropouts carry the history of signal circulation and duplication, while handheld cameras, TV monitors, and VHS tools leave their marks as part of the edit. Cuts breathe with rhythm, FX stitch together audio and visual seams, and frames respond to sound, thinning, stretching, and folding. Time layers upon itself through playback artifacts, while live, present manipulation moves across the same surface. Preservation emerges through signal exposure, allowing the textures of the patterns to remain visible, resonant, and alive. (Stumbled across this in the archives and figure posting this is better late than never!! Real people are what makes machines cool!)
