I'm Brendan — a musician, button presser, and tarot reader based in Queens. (You can hire me for any of those things.) I currently sing/scream/play guitar in Receive and play drums in Star Card.

The personal web site has always been one of my favorite artistic mediums, and even though it's not really where "traffic" likes to go, publishing doesn't feel complete to me without a living archive of my work, shaped the way I want, severed from creepazoid tech platform capitalism & advertiser surveillance.

So, that's what I've made here — a living archive of the stuff I like to make. You can read my blog, look at photos I've taken, or listen to music I've worked on. There's also some ephemera (small thoughts, recent favs, etc.), a bit about me, and a that you can sign.

Right now this site is pretty well-organized, but in time, I hope to let it become overgrown, rewilded and labyrinthine, something to wander through, roots circling downward and leaves reaching further and further out.

Anyway, feel free to sign the guestbook while you're here. :)
