ADHD’d so hard, i built an entire world. 🌎😅
this is an immersive, interactive site dedicated to “Ego Death”. from its creation, to its premiere, to it’s celebration, photos from every step of the journey.
this is worldbuilding.
needed an original way to archive and showcase all the photos taken though the season of Ego Death.
sometimes a 20 scroll carousel just wasn’t enough!
i’ve been talking with @cxy about the importance of turning a piece of art into an entire world. that’s what we’re doing here. more about this soon.
my nonprofit @common.unity.arts is searching for more patrons of the arts + foundations that care about art. if you love what we’ve been building, please consider joining us as a founding donor for upcoming collaborative arts projects!
share this with a creative you know.
sometimes the question isn’t “how do we get a lot of eyes on this”, but “how can we present this in a refreshing way”? those are the art projects that seem to stand the test of time, and everything i’m focused on building right now.
thanks for letting me nerd out for a bit haha! this was fun!! 🦋
visit EGODEATH.WORLD to test the site yourself. link in bio.

This is a preview of track 17, "A Spinna & a Twister" from A.S. I Am - The Audio-biography of #AhmedSirour (Part Two), this time with full sound design and music score.
Because this project is 30 tracks/stories deep, I've split the Bandcamp Listening Parties into 3 parts (10 tracks each), and tonight is Set 2 of 3.
Some of you may remember that famous, freak storm with two rare tornados that hit New York City on September 16th, 2010. Well, one of them hit Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, and yours truly was in its direct path when I was staying at #DJSpinna's studio working on tracks for him, and I ended up having to fight this storm–an actual tornado–and the flash flood it sent into his basement studio to try to save a ton of records and valuable studio equipment (and myself by not get electrocuted in the process 😳).
RSVP in the bio and come listen to this and other true stories from my life adventures! 😉

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30th, 2026 (tracks 21-30)
*A.S. I Am – The Audio-biography of
Ahmed Sirour (Part Two)*
This Part Two album picks up where Part One left off at the close of 2001/start of 2002, and continues till the end of 2013. The photos in the collage cover this same time period range (start of 2002–end of 2013), when I used to rock a lot of hair lol
Even as these life stories are merely selected moments in my life journey, there were so many to dig through and many I remembered AFTER the fact when we stopped recording, that I had more on my plate to edit than I had imagined I would (like a couple hundred GIGABYTES of material to go through). The process also allowed me to see how things connect and how "random moments" from the past were instrumental for things in the present to come into fruition.
For those who don't know me and wonder why I'm doing all this, many have been asking me to write a book for years because of all the stories I would share of my life experiences and world travels. It's been a challenge trying to do that (the book part), so for now, this is the next best thing I could think of, to document my life and share stories from my journey, and I hope it informs, entertains, and mostly inspire others to consider their own lives and the things they wish to experience and discover more about themselves and find greater purpose in their own journeys.

VILLAIN ORIGIN STORIES 003: C.Y. LEE
@villainorigin.stories is a long-form interview series about artists, thinkers, and cultural figures confronting the catalyzing experiences that shaped them.
@cxy opens up about growing up in a deeply musical family, learning piano and cello, and ultimately choosing technology over becoming a professional musician. From studying at MIT and discovering late-1980s house and hip-hop through college radio to building products at companies including Apple, Microsoft, and RealNetworks, C.Y. reflects on the decisions that moved him away from performing-but never separated him from music.
That unfinished relationship eventually led him back as a collector, executive producer, co-founder of MusicNerd, and one of the most visible patrons of independent artists in Web3. He explores what direct artist support can look like, why patronage should be treated as a luxury product, and how people who built wealth outside the arts can help fund the creative culture that shaped them.
Full episode out now.

Before there was a documentary, there was the dance.
For more than three decades, Gabriel “Bboy Wicket” Jaochico built a life in hip-hop—performing, competing, teaching, and helping shape breaking culture.
But behind the legend was a story few people knew.
WICKET is an intimate portrait of dance, identity, love, resilience, and the courage to finally live authentically.
🎬 Closing Night of The Big Queer Weekend
📅 Sunday, September 27 6pm
📍 Galaxy Theatres Austin Texas
🎤 Live Q&A with Wicket , director Lily Plotkin and producer Ryland Hormel!!!

EGO’S EULOGY:
here lies Ego.
perfect in intention, destructive in action.
intention is never enough,
and action is all that ever counts.
Ego searches for more love
than it′s willing to give out.
sneakier than a python,
slimier than a pig snout.
mmm.
i′ve watched the greatest men
fall from grace in it’s captivity.
i′ve watched the most brilliant women
get tricked out of their spot
and into competition.
the enemy’s tool,
the mind′s prison.
quasi-confidence.
fake flyness.
the embodiment of fear.
don’t let it near.

really want to take a moment to highlight @brendan.dp for his incredible work on this film. brendan worked as the director of photography, the editor, AND handled the vfx of me falling through the void. you wore every hat with such dedication and intention. thank you for being so hands on with this! 🫂
next i’d like to highlight my sister, @elysethoms, who directed this film with me. there is no one else i would’ve trusted to help me bring this vision to life. your mind is 1/1. everything you touch turns to gold. i am so grateful, so proud, and so honored to produce your director’s debut! 🫂
last but not least, the executive producer, @cxy, who’s patronage helped bring this vision to life. i think i speak for the entire team + every person that resonated with this film when i say i am forever grateful! thanks for believing in me and my bizarre brain. 🫂
this is co-creation!
