NOTES FROM A QUIET LIFE LP →
The musical direction on this album felt a lot more minimalist in terms of the production, so I wanted the cover image to mirror that with a starkness and simplicity. The photo was taken by a Korean photographer named Myoung Ho Lee who builds elaborate white backdrops that frame large trees in space. Conceptually I like how this reframing focuses attention on natural elements as art objects. Check out this long-play BTS footage from one of this shoots.
THE POETRY OF MARY OLIVER →
I’ve enjoyed reading Mary Oliver over the last couple of years. Not only does she capture beautiful images, but she sheds light on beautiful moments that might otherwise be taken for granted. I’ve tried to practice this sort of mindfulness and inquisitiveness in my own life. This essay by Maria Popova does a great job of describing the magic of her work.
THE HARDEST PART [OFFICIAL VIDEO] →
The first song from NFAQL has video directed by a filmmaker I’ve been a fan of for a long time, Paul Trillo. It’s also the first commissioned music video created entirely using OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video model. Sora’s not available to the public yet, so it was cool working with Paul to test the limits of what a tool like that could do in the context of a music video that couldn’t have made with any other technology.
