A hydrophone trailing behind Eirik Johnson's kayak picked up what a camera couldn't: the boom and screech of barge machinery mud falling into water, a distant propeller. He brought the recordings home and reworked them—a ship's engine became "an ominous forward march," drifting silt became "a busy chatter" as Sam Hockley-Smith describes the sonic component of LEVIATHAN RISING. The book includes a link to the resulting sound composition alongside the photographs. #LeviathanRising #EirikJohnson #SoundArt #MWEditions 12 Nov 2026

Los Angeles friends, Please join me this Saturday, November 7 at 3 pm at @artbookhwla for a conversation with @samhockleysmith about my new book Leviathan Rising. Sam contributed a fantastic essay for the book and we’ll be discussing subaquatic field recordings & sound pollution, Northwest Mystic inspiration, and other New Environments. We’ll sign some books too! ✌🏻🌊🎧 #leviathanrisingbook 04 Nov 2026

Almost a year ago, I began a correspondence with the photographer Eirik Johnson, who was in the midst of putting together Leviathan Rising, his exploration of “oceanic trade, environmental fragility, and the beastly machinery that carries cargo through uncertain waters.” During the pandemic, Johnson took his camera, kayak, and a hydrophone out onto the Duwamish river, getting right up close to the rusted hulls of transoceanic barges, and making photos that are massive in scale, rendering the hulls as abstractions. He also made a series of subaquatic field recordings, which he then edited and augmented. Basically, this book and its audio companion covers a huge swath of my interests: the fraught, violent environment of the Pacific Northwest, minimalism, field recordings, and sound that blends into and becomes a larger part of our musical lives. I wrote an essay about the music and the environment that’s included in the book and sent me on a journey that moved from Brian Eno’s pioneering ambient explorations to the Anacortes-focused work of cultural anthropologist and musicologist Harry Smith. Eirik Johnson and I will be in conversation on Saturday, November 7th at 3pm at @artbookhwla, here in LA. RSVP at my link in bio. It’s free! 28 Oct 2026

Stoked to announce that I spent some time with Salehe Bembury for the inaugural issue of Background Check a few months back. We went deep on design, emotional colors, and what it means to have a “thing” you become known for. Thanks to the @backdrop crew for asking me to contribute! 23 Oct 2026

The year was weird and so the year in reading was weird. Lot of all-timers on here. Lot of books I felt conflicted about. Not included: books I almost finished, am still finishing, may never finish. Exciting: some new voices of a generation emerged! Not exciting: I read half of DeLillo’s Underworld for the first time and loved it but for some reason never finished it? What’s that about? I’ll get there. If you’re curious about a book or want a recommendation, ask me! 31 Dec 2025

There’s really nothing like a good magazine. It’s weird, I feel like it’s a bit of a lost art—not magazines themselves, but understanding what makes one good. There are for sure a decent amount of great ones out there, but it’s rare for me to find one that features an organic vision, AKA not the result of a semi-frantic Twitter search to see what people are “talking about.” It’s not especially difficult to give people what they already know they want, but it takes real skill to give people what they didn’t realize they wanted all along. Anyway. I write all this because the new High Snobiety magazine is a product of genuine vision, an enthusiastic look at actually cool shit happening right now. I’m biased—I profiled Matty Matheson for the issue, but seeing how it all fit together gave me hope for the future of print. 13 Oct 2025
