5. Wrinkled face of the Patrician Torlonia (1st Century AD)
The Greeks were the first to focus on intense naturalistic detail, but the Romans were even more "honest" in their human faces. This Roman politician's face was furrowed with deep wrinkles.
Is there just NO reach here on X/Twitter anymore or should I just accept that free music from me holds abs no interest to anyone anymore? Which is fine cs I’ll keep making it for myself.
Just curious. I can handle it.
For a limited time here's a gift to everyone. A free download of this cassette mixtape from the far future. A fun experiment in lo fi murk and psychedelic machine music.
J Velez : Artifact
Reveling in lo fi murk, limited palettes and
spontaneous creation (all tracks here made in a morning/afternoon in under 2 hours)
Possible musical influences during this time
Richard H Kirk
Boards Of Canada’s mixtapes for friends (on Youtube)
The gorgeous quality of cassette non-quality Sly Stone
enjoy
*all music is unreleased and a gift to you. If you want to share go ahead but please give due credit. Love x Jorge*

RIP TV's number one Midwest Dad. Joe Flaherty was funny as fuck at all times but the thing that made him so special on Freaks and Geeks is really the depth of emotion he brought to Harold Weir. The moments between him & Nick break my heart into a million pieces every single time.

One of the greatest bits of on SCTV is
5 Neat Guys. A take on the 1950's era vocal groups.
The brilliance here is usually unnoticed. Keep your eye on Joe Flaherty, he is playing a functioning alcoholic. 😂
James Holdens “Imagine A ahigh Dimensional…” album came out about this time last year. Here’s a preliminary sketch for one of the 13 illustrations I made to accompany the album.
A few Website updates!

There wouldn't have been much recognition for the music I made going back to the @IDIB days and after - stuff that still resonates with some folks - if it hadn't been for Pitchfork. I have to thank all the writers, a few I'm lucky to count as friends, for championing music.
Love, strength and may you continue to be able to do what you love after this has all settled.
