I first learned of Duane Michals, like many, in a history of photography course in college. Squished between formalist foundations and the radical love of Nan Goldin was Michals.

The project leans heavily into a classical orchestral style, utilizing sweeping strings, brass, and woodwinds while crafting a dramatic thematic display of longing and emotional distance. The artist’s background expands across fashion design, film direction, and military service, alongside deep... Read more ›

Writing workshops and workbooks often use exercises (essentially prompts) to help develop skills. I bounce off of all of them. For me, coming up with ideas / getting started is not the hard part of […] Read more ›
An intense exploration of fractured relationships, “Reconcile” is a gripping new single from Reduction in Force, the project from Mike Mills. The track fuses moody post-punk energy with an anthemic rock chorus, channeling a sharp Gen X skepticism into an urgent plea for interpersonal healing. A visceral and haunting rock production, “Reconcile” quickly unveils a ghostly vocal backing that envelops with wordless prowess, while guitar twangs further the momentum. “30 years are in the past, all ...

A mid-summer look at the team standings now the Tour de France looms large. UAE lead the rankings but the surprise is they’re not that far ahead. It’s easily explained by Tadej Pogačar not racing as much this season as before and their Giro being reduced to stage hunting but the result is they’re less ... Read more The post first appeared on .
