7 minIs Intellectual Property Becoming Obsolete?
I think it's entirely possible that we're heading toward an age of relative abundance, where many of the things we currently spend our money on become so inexpensive and accessible that they're essentially free.

Ghost Towns is a snapshot of one stage of my life, a time when everything felt like a horror movie I couldn't walk out of. I'm not going to tell you how each story ended. I think the album speaks for itself.

5 minWhat Music Taught Me About Pain
For most of my life, I’ve been drawn to music that makes people slightly uncomfortable. Not chaotic noise for its own sake—but music with tension. Songs that feel unresolved. Tracks that wander into strange places, hold you there, then finally let go. The kind of music where the release only works because the pressure beforehand was real. For a long time, I thought this was just a personal taste quirk. Eventually, I realized it shaped how I think about suffering—and even how I think about God.
