Some moments from the last few shows 👾

Leaving the cave is hard when ur inside vibing. But once you’re out, it feels so good to smell the flowers.
I definitely dont do live visuals as much as I used to, and thats ok. I always struggle with wondering if i do enough. But at the end of the day, im so happy. My life is at such a great place rn, even with all the problems that pop up. Been blessed to be able to still do visuals for some incredible groups the last few months. So many great memories.
Appreciate everyone that has stuck around and the support! Love seeing everyone at shows. ❤️
Looking forward to the rest of the year!

PS who else going to Field of Vision?!? Im pumped af!

In an overly digitized world, this is a cool change of pace! @nicotinemantis for @stranger.liquids bringing the walls to life here, old school style.

I first saw analog visuals when I played @ghostpalace_halloween for @electroluxxprty last year. Very cool to see some LA peeps keeping this art form alive.

What a stretch of shows it’s been! The last couple months have felt like a blur, but thankful to be busy doing what I love with artists and crews I’ve looked up to for years.

Words fail when I think of what this year was to me.

When I look back, I am overwhelmed by the infinite love and limitless joy that surrounds me. I had forgotten that life could be so full, and for those that helped remind me - I have unending gratitude.

There have been too many beautiful moments to possibly share, and what a gift it is to have such a problem.

When I look to the year ahead, I have nothing but bright eyes and an ever-growing confidence that there is still so much more to come.

Happy new year ~

It took all year but here it is! In time for the last Shabbat of the year! 🕯️🕯️

In March I went on a life-changing trip. It started with a group of strangers, with nothing binding us together other than our shared identity and a curiosity to explore it. Over 10 days we became the best of friends and etched memories that touched me so deeply, they changed the way I feel about myself. For most of my life I never felt like I could step into my Jewishness. As a patrilineal with internalized antisemitism, I spent a long time running away from myself, rejecting that part of me before others could. This was the year that I stopped running, and when I instead stepped closer, I found that my people were right there with open arms.

Thank you to my amazing taglit group & to every Israeli who pretended that they’re not already sick & tired of American olim 🙃 and for making us feel welcomed & wanted in the homeland. 🇮🇱 ♥️

Incredibly thankful for this phenomenal weekend, frankly so thankful I’m almost in disbelief.
Did I actually go to the desert and have the time of my life seeing my favorite acts and music of all time? Did I really end up doing visuals for my super good friend Tyler Boogie Boudreaux at Desert Daze?? Did I really get down with my bois and megazord video jam for the JJUUJJUU & Friends closing ceremonies of the entire festival??? Sounds too good to be true honestly. And if there wasn’t photo evidence and others confirming the experience, I might not believe you. But there is, and I will accept this glorious reality with literal tears of joy flowing down my face

Much love to all of the friends I made and ran into this weekend. Y’all always make this experience so special 💜💜💜

So stoked and grateful to have jammed with @stranger.liquids on the @vinylwilliams projections!

Despite making a plan literally 20 minutes before the set, at 1:15 am, we managed to produce some dope visuals!

Many thanks @andrewcarnagie , @nicotinemantis , and @realnotfadeaway for working with me and being patient with the janky set up lol. Can't wait to do it again sometime soon! Much love!
