It’s rare doing instrumental music that I get to hear my music sung back to me by the beautiful people in the audience. This choral part of At Any Cost started as a last minute silly idea as we were wrapping up in the studio, but performing it live and hearing everyone’s voices fill the room was incredibly moving. Thank you again to everyone who came out and joined the chorus.
Thank you to everyone who came out to my album release show last week! One of the most fulfilling events I’ve managed to put together, and a huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the process

Utopia in the Dark,
Chapter V: At Any Cost
You live under a system that demands Your participation, thrives off both Your labor and Your consumption, yet which refuses to provide for Your wellbeing; which operates solely at the whims of those whose interests lie in direct contradiction to Your own.
You must refuse to bend under the pressures of an engine designed to crush alternative forms of existence. You must carve out a space for Yourself and build something better from the unyielding stone. At any cost to our percieved comforts, at any cost to the tempting conveniences and enticing dreams the putrid engine offers, We must make another way.
The Utopia in the Dark Deluxe Edition is available exclusively on Bandcamp, with an alternate take and a bonus live recording! Go give me money immediately
Utopia in the Dark,
Chapter IV: Rent’s Due
Tick, Tick, Tick, Tock
Time is running low, Your scrambling hasn’t gained You enough resource to purchase another month. Whats Yours will be taken from You, as it was only leased upon the condition of your obedience.
The Engine holds You on the brink of starvation, squeezing every drop of life from You and repurposing your time towards its own ends. Resist. Don’t give in.
Utopia in the Dark, Chapter III
You do not fear the work. Bitter work makes bitter music but any less makes nothing better. What grips You is the work appropriated, packaged and exported, the fruits of Your labor feeding the rotten machine; already so full to bursting and yet still emaciated.
You will not be placated by symbolic victories and simple entertainment, You know Your hunger is more deserving than that of its churning cancerous mass.
