FAUXE: ALTRUISM
“Sometimes” is an interesting concept. Because sometimes, “sometimes” can mean all the time. And sometimes, the most self-defining philosophy can be contained in the following three words: All or nothing.
For FAUXE, those three words undergird his interrelated cosmic roles of artist, producer, archivist, and leader.
Artist because he lives out his calling to create resonant art that intimidates and inspires; Producer because he coaxes sonic ideas from the womb of possibility and through a natural birth, brings music into the world; Archivist because he labors to preserve the essence of sound and culture, making the web of experience that defines our historical legacy less easy to forget, and Leader because his fundamental project is world-building, bringing the past and present into a one-of-a-kind dialogue with each other, so that the future may be glorious, endlessly enchanting but above all, powerfully meaningful for us.
