I’m a writer, a musician and a recording artist. Veridical? Yes, though I usually strive for something more fantastic and unnameable. More nuanced descriptions presumably would endear me to a more selective audience. Maybe that isn’t such a bad thing. I mean, you’re here and I think you’re fantastic.
This is where I share music, essays, images and ideas. I’ve made many records and am making more. I write regular pieces for Words, Music and Radical Common Sense, and they take many forms. Interpretations of my experiences and impressions manifest themselves here – a document of a single human mind and spirit, infinite in possibilities, ever elusive and counter-intuitively self-extolling. But isn’t that the nature of all creation? At least in the upside down, chaotic hellscape of American culture, I still have this little place to be.
As of 2025, I’ve taken up the creation of zines. Zines have opened many new doors for me from the community, to the freedom, to the absolute validity of creating something from start to finish that you can hold in your hand. No servers, no SEO hints you didn’t ask for, not a thought about comments. I found that I enjoyed writing even more when it’s not disposable on the internet and worse, subject to be free training fodder for some jerk’s AI. My zines will be available soon. You’ll see information on this site when my store has them. In the meantime, If you don’t know what zines are, do a little digging. Maybe you’ll find them as exciting as I do.
Even I don’t know what you might see, hear or read here on my site, so I welcome you to visit often. In addition to comments on posts, I can be reached at studio@chrispreston.com.
