Learning to Hear
2011–2016wonder · creation · identity
“practiced the same eight bars for three hours tonight. something finally clicked around midnight. wrote it down so i wouldn't forget what it felt like.”
“every record i love was made by someone who had no idea if it would work. trying to hold onto that.”
The Journey of the Magi
Sassetta (Stefano di Giovanni)
ca. 1433–35 · Tempera and gold on wood
A procession moves across a gold world with unsure purpose — the feeling of early practice, before direction hardens into confidence.
Landscape
Edgar Degas
1892 · Monotype in oil colors
Degas turns landscape into atmosphere and memory, matching the early stage when sensation matters more than finished form.
Music
Clodion (Claude Michel)
ca. 1780–90 · Terracotta
The sculpture makes music physical and held close, like the first moments when sound becomes a private language.
Making the Record
2016–2021creation · work · travel
“three weeks in the studio. we threw out everything from the first two and started over. it's better. it's actually better.”
“played a show in a city where nobody knew us. sold out. still don't totally understand how that happened.”
Wheat Field with Cypresses
Vincent van Gogh
1889 · Oil on canvas
Van Gogh's field is all movement and pressure, the same charged energy as work that has finally started to take shape.
The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise
Giovanni di Paolo (Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia)
1445 · Tempera and gold on wood
A whole world appears in a compact circle, echoing the compression and invention of turning scattered ideas into a record.
Work
Juste Aurèle Meissonnier
n.d.
The title is blunt, but the image is ornate — a useful reminder that craft can be both labor and performance.
What the Music Is For
2021–presentlove · memory · wonder
“someone told me after the show that a song I wrote six years ago got them through something. didn't know what to say. just said thank you.”
“the new stuff is slower. less to prove. I think that's right.”
Love
Simeon Solomon
1858 · Graphite
Solomon's quiet scene treats love as a resting place, close to the moment when songs begin to mean something for other people.
La Berceuse (Woman Rocking a Cradle; Augustine-Alix Pellicot Roulin, 1851–1930)
Vincent van Gogh
1889 · Oil on canvas
The rocking cradle suggests care and repetition, the softer rhythm of work made less to prove and more to hold.
Sunflowers
Vincent van Gogh
1887 · Oil on canvas
The flowers lean toward endurance rather than display, a fitting close for a phase where the work becomes quieter and larger.
