Add the Heart Music Video (2023)

Nick released two audio-visual projects in September 2023: a music video for “Add the Heart” and lyric video for “No Heart.”

“Add the Heart” combines original, computer-coded, and found footage to trace American history through the 21st century’s flirtations with isolationist fascism.

My Paragraph Template Nick released his first major project, "Dry Cycles," on January 7th, 2023. The songs are rhythmic, hypnotic, and utilize avant-garde production techniques. The poetic lyrics and song structures are informed by Nick's personal trials and tribulations throughout his young adulthood. He followed up Dry Cycles with a self-made music video, "Feel Invisible". This project explores loneliness through household props personified by colorful sequences and video overlays.
