Available in full now! Stream where you listen to music (including @ninaprotocol ) and purchase the album on Bandcamp in digital or physical form to support more releases on @daylight.origin
Thank you for listening š I would love to know your favorite song on the record.
š This Friday @luciabeyond and I are taking our collaborative practice to the wide open skies of Marfa, Texas for @ballroommarfa ās inaugural Picnic.
Weāll be trusting our intuition and improvising an hour long mediation for Digitakt and Nord Keyboard. Come join us as we rest on the ground and slip into the sky š
The next day Iāll be returning solo to the Capri garden, and DJing an actual real-life picnic with inspirations and selections from Free Expanse of Heaven.
See yāall out there šš¦
I wanted to express how deeply grateful I am for the love and support yāall have shown this project. Free Expanse of Heaven is 4-days old and we completely sold out of CDs in just 3 daysā¼ļø
Thank you @psillyrobby , @luciabeyond , and @beng.r for creating a warm and welcoming environment at the release party. I have learned so much from each of you, and I am beyond blessed to have you as friends and collaborators.
Thank you @sulli.meservey for creating the @daylight.origin logo and framing it with so much care. I cried tears of joy yesterday when I got to see it in real life for the first time.
Thank you @samb020202 for your breathing life into this project and making a little world for this music to live in with your animation, and the water droplet that became the CD graphic.
Thank you @derandl3 for your photograph that became the album cover. Taken on our wedding day at golden hour. I remember being so enamored with the light that day, and Iām so glad you were too.
And thank you @plague.victim , my husband and teacher who sees me and holds me through the self-doubt and discouragement that sometimes comes with sharing a project as a personal as this. I am so thankful that the joy and meaning we make together can be felt by others through this art and this music.
With love and gratitude,
Jake / Mooncloud

š¼ hi friends!
Iām thrilled to announce that my next full length album, āFree Expanse of Heaven,ā is arriving on May 1st! The first single is streaming now on the @daylight.origin Bandcamp.

This album was made in the spring of 2025 just as green buds were starting to appear on the trees in the backyard. Itās an invitation to the playful spirit in each of us to go outside and dance with the birds and bugs.
It is dedicated to my nieces who are my hope for the future, and my reminder that imagination is a priceless gift to share with the world.
Thanks for listening šš¼

Lots of beautiful things to report and reflect upon.
First, Iām starting a record label to share music that connects us to sunlight and spirit. Itās called @daylight.origin if you want to follow along. The first release will be announced very soon!
If you came to the day party that @nervedamage.atx threw in my backyard last month youāve already heard some of the first release on Daylight Origin! Hint hint itās a record Iāve been waiting to share for over a year now.
Iāll be playing an extremely special live set with @luciabeyond on May 15 at the inaugural Picnic thrown by @ballroommarfa
LucĆa is an incredible DJ, musician and friend. She also throws one of my favorite parties in Austin called @sequenceatx . Thereās some memories from the most recent party āBLOOMā here too!
Finally I just wanna say I love yāall. Iām so thankful to be where I am sharing music with my loved ones and documenting it on my $12 camera.
š peace

Come early to get a good spot and bring something soft to sit on! Lawn and nest seating both available first come first serve. RSVPs say theyāre full but just pull up. @thorharris plays after us!
Also, just announced, Jake and I will be taking this music to the desert later this May to perform at Picnic, a new festival by @ballroommarfa . Itās our first time in Marfa and thereās some heroes on the lineup alongside us š„¹
More shows like this to come!
š¼ OUT NOW š¼
Interpolations is available now for free on my Bandcamp.
Itās a small collection of sample-based downtempo tracks cobbled together from some of my favorite records. I hope you download them and keep them on your phone or a USB.
I wanted to share something to push past a bit of the insecurity Iāve been feeling around sharing my work from this last year. These tracks all came together this past week as the weather shifted. Definitely music for standing by the window and watching the rain fall.
Thanks for tuning in š
