I’ve been making music for more than 40 years and DJing for over 30.

The tools keep changing. What I’m trying to communicate hasn’t.

Higher Ark gives me another way to connect the music, the visuals, and the ideas behind all of it.

The Higher Ark isn’t just about the brand.  I know everyone says that, but this is for the kids at the skatepark, the ones laboring behind their computers to create art, for those crawling under racks to find that dangling MIDI cord.  We are digging in the record stores to find those hidden gems, leaving sweat on dirty floors to battle for our name.  We were there, we are there, and we are building what will be there.

Real Hip Hop has all the elements of the culture.  The Art (Graf), the sound (DJ), the voice (MC) and the Warrior (Bboy)

Twenty years ago we worked together selling music gear, talking about bands, and being around people who cared deeply about making music.

A lot changes in twenty years. The love of music hasn’t.

It’s good to see an old friend still creating and putting something new into the world.

Fiona’s Phobia releases their new album tomorrow. Go give it a listen on most streaming platforms.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface - MIDI.
.
Today, for most, it means color coded rectangles on a linear grid.  For me, its DIN connectors and it’s 128 channels of sync errors, stress and happy accidents.  Back when it was all hardware, I remember assigning my drum channel to a kit and it got switched and maaaaan, the sounds I got were so sick.  The days when people would ask, how did this producer ever think of that.  They didn’t, it just sounded cool after MIDI did its own thing. If you can relate, this hoody is for you!

The Fall.  Represents so many things.  The fallen Angels, the fall of mankind and rise of AI, the fall of tear (bonus points if you get the reference). This design has so much meaning to me personally, I hope others find their own interpretations.  Trying to make gear that evokes emotions, makes a statement and is more than just a shirt when you put it on.

Big Brother is always watching.  It’s no longer just to control, it’s to sell your attention.  Clicks are a commodity.

PURGATORY — THE LONG ASCENT

“The Long Ascent” is the idea at the heart of this piece. I drew from Dante’s seven terraces and the Catholic understanding of purgatory as a passage toward purification.

For me, that climb is about earning freedom through the work of facing our sins, enduring pain, and overcoming what holds us back. Each step asks something of us. The soul becomes free through the journey.

No references, nothing to decode.  Just dope.
