Just a few spots remain for MULTITUDES II: A GATHERING FOR MULTI-FACETED PEOPLE with @alexwongsounds & me, November 6-10, 2025.
We put our hearts & souls into this event - check out Alex's gorgeous & meticulous poster art! - but it's really the guests that make Multitudes something unforgettable. I hope you'll be shaping this year's Multitudes gathering with us. 💜

I've been a fan of @VOCES8 and the work of @voces8_foundation for years now, so I was thrilled to hear their new ensemble @LyyraOfficial - and stunned when they reached out to tell us that "The Hymn of Acxiom" would be their first single!
You really should check out the whole video - it's an exquisite performance. @KerryMarsh made delightful choices in arranging the song for six female voices, especially when things get creepy 😉 And I can't get over how the members of Lyyra nailed the mood visually too...if you ever wondered how Siri & Alexa's faces might look while they serve our every whim, now you know.
Congrats @lyyra_official - looking forward to the rest of your debut record! 💜

I'm thrilled to present the full trilogy of music videos for "We've Got You" - including the crowdsourced finale!
I gave a kind of impossible task to my collaborators: "We've Got You (Two Truths)" is actually two different songs that I wrote to be played at the same time. Each of those two songs has its own video: "Spark" is stop-motion animation, by Andrew Benincasa, and "Comfort" is live action, by Steve Milligan. "Two Truths" is the intercut and extension of the two, where it’s revealed how the two songs and the two videos relate to each other.
The lyrics of the song are about interdependence. So we wanted a video that felt like two different worlds connecting in unexpected ways.
More on the making of the trilogy, and my thoughts on making music videos more generally, at V13 Media.

To celebrate, I'm also hosting "micro-workshops" on the theme of Two Truths: naming things we feel pulled in two directions about, and trying on ideas for how to weave them into a way forward. These sessions will run about 30 minutes, and we'll use the songs & video imagery to walk through our reflections.
