185k streams and counting...
After releasing A Wonderful World, I dropped off the face of the earth for a year and a half. Time was unkind to my heart but kind to my pen, and I returned with these four retro-pop love songs.

DreamGAN
i spent some time coding a thing i call DreamGAN, which paints a dreamlike video from the lyrics of a song. after some trial and error, i used it to make a video for marry another man and minted it into 25 NFT's (see below). it was a fun experience, but i've left the project there for now. if you're into this sort of thing, though, let me know. i'm happy to share DreamGAN's code (by request since it's embarrassingly messy lol) and i've also got a couple of the NFT's left over.

this is my handwriting
fun side note: i made this font from my own handwriting using the free version of Calligraphr, which I definitely recommend trying out if you have a passing interest in fonts and have 15 minutes to spare.

City Life / Tell Me What You Want
Wise John
2 sunshine songs. i think it was my mom? who was like, can you play one of your happy songs? and i was like gosh i have like none! of those. so i went through my unfinished ideas and found these 2 to finish. TMWYW is about the "what are we?" convo. City Life is about Wanting To Leave New York And Go To The Beach. happy, enjoy, etx :))
Covers EP
Wise John
I recorded a few covers of my fave songs the old fashioned way--directly to tape. No tricks, no frills, just a piano and 2 mics (except for the first track, which i arranged for a full band, and the bonus track, which is an iphone voice memo).
