🕯 Sonic Séance: Channeling the Dead Through Dark Ambient
Dark ambient is often described as haunting—but what if it wasn’t just a vibe? What if it was a method of summoning? Not in the theatrical occult sense, but as a ritual of remembrance—a way to invite the presence of those we’ve lost, or the versions of ourselves that time has buried.

🕯 Shadow Listening: Why the Music You Love Might Be About the Parts You Hide

🗺️ Sound as a Place: How Music Becomes Emotional Geography . AI-Generated.
Close your eyes. Think of the last song that truly moved you. Now think: Where did it take you? Not just emotionally—but physically, spatially. Did it drop you into a rainy city at midnight? A sunlit rooftop in summer? An empty bedroom at 2AM? Did it make you feel like you were somewhere else entirely—maybe even a place that doesn’t exist?

Understanding Spotify Playlists:
Over the years of helping independent artists promote their music, I’ve gained a solid understanding of how Spotify works behind the scenes. It’s a complex system that can be confusing, especially if you’re expecting immediate results from playlist placements or promotions. That’s why I want to take a moment to explain how it all works — and how you can use it to your advantage as an artist.

Artist: U.K. the Joker on Stoicism, Creativity, and Building a Purpose-Driven Legacy
Can you tell us where you're from and where you're currently based?  I’m originally from Louisiana, but right now I live in Atlanta. That Southern foundation still lives in everything I do—how I speak, how I move, how I think. Louisiana taught me grit, survival, and storytelling. Atlanta gave me a bigger space to express all of that.
