about

Fluid Truths And The Congruence Of Being is a collection of pieces composed on the streets and sidewalks of countless cities. I lived off only what strangers felt my music was worth as I busked every day for over a year . Born with the ears of the general public already bearing down, these songs distinguished themselves from any of my previous work. For the first time, each new composition came to be over weeks and months in the wild instead of hours or days in a room full of instruments. Facing the dread of a progressively static existence, I'd like to offer this chronicle of evolution from all over, through me, to you.

Each accompanying video of this series shows the entropy of a simple process. I hoped to scale down the palette of sentiments I encountered as a fleeting part of so many vast human ecosystems. I realized these feelings painted a picture of a simple concept. Every entity seems the same to any other at the macro level. As we begin to zoom in the frame of our perspective, we often find cascading levels of deviation, conformity, and back again. For all I know this continues eternally, reflected in every facet of this universe. I understood the concept before, akin to “turtles all the way down”, but I had never truly known it until these past two years. These ambient films are the clearest way I could manage to mirror that fractal nature of the cities, communities, and people I’ve met.

Thank you so much for listening. I hope it helps.

- Nathan
