what is this
pyramid blue
sacred bones of the milky whey
and then suddenly, you realize you’re bleeding

i have to admit that i have regrets
those boys i’ve lost
the boy in me lost
the algebra knocks loose the debris

there is no more spiritual bypassing
cypress beams and rafters of acacia dismantled
incense persists
beckons and bellows

what is this
pyramid blue
sacred bones of the milky whey
and then suddenly, you realize you’re bleeding

I think it all started back whenever MRYM and I were having a conversation (or argument) about the simplicity of modern art.

I’d commented at the time about how I believe that simple paintings like white squares, simples lines down the page, or splatters on the canvas were not proper demonstrations of talent. She was quick to correct my understanding of this.

Over the last couple of years, this idea has rolled around in my head, and I’ve wondered: “What does a “white square canvas” look like in terms of my own art.

Then enters Pete + Purdue.

Pete + Purdue is the latest album that I’ve produced that features simple sonic landscapes that can sit in the background while the rest of the world passes by. Performed by the pianist duo, Pete + Purdue is a news story, a path, inside the same universe as TIE.

The latest release is now available on all streaming and download platforms!

Stay tuned for more from Pete + Purdue!
