I Primarily record under ‘Arctic City’ doing electronic deconstructed compositions(is the best way to describe it?.) drawing from endless sources of music and sounds I like. Started 2013 in Florida, that same year spawned the “Manufactured Paper”EP. Work soon began on an official LP which proved difficult and time constraining from the beginning of this unknown project that would become my entire output as a solo artist. After scraped ideas upon creative blocks upon more scraped songs in 2015 “Change(r)” was spontaneously dropped for my soul more than anything else. I never got to the heart of the idea that I had for it since I started working on it almost 3 years before and it just never quite came to fruition. So I don’t even remember thinking about it I just recall feeling close enough to completion that it was a complete album and I couldn’t stand doing that aesthetic anymore. I was finished with it and needed to move on and more effort into that would only have been a catalyst to starting over again and again like I had been doing for some time. So in that moment I let it go and it was for better or worse “finished”. I feel like the best things I’ve done thus far followed this and it wasn’t without the silence gaps as I refer to my “working at a snail’s pace” method. I will say when January of 2017 came around it was merely coincidence that all that stuff was finished simultaneously back to back, just like that, because it was being completed “just like that”. To say it was a creative peak or rather a creative“high” for me is fair because I was more productive than I ever had been and completing the work also was hugely satisfying to me. I think more than anything it  happened that way for two reasons, one was that I was not in a relationship that I had been in for about 5 years anymore and I was coming out of a deep/dark depression that I had been tormented by for a few months (sep- nov ‘16) at last and that’s in part also because of : Two - I was feeling very happy for a few reasons but mostly because I had straightened out the financial issues that had me in constant anxious concerns of keeping a roof over my head￼! I had a steady income and my best comrade had moved in to cover my slack as I couldn’t afford the place on my own.  So things being taken care of had me simply happier and for that reason I guess I was just inspired to make some music again and process all the dark shit that had been going on that I could hardly acknowledge verbally(I didn’t unless I was very drunk which I was frequently during the end of that year ‘16). I was proud of those Jan. 2017 releases : EP “Guide Me Into Your Misery” and the best AC work to date in my opinion, the 2nd LP “Embryo”. Fast forward to 2022 and here we are! LP3 : “EX TENEBRIS LUX” is next…. 

My other recording identity is ‘66$ICKBOY’ producing music of the rap/hip hop persuasion for various (any) MC’s willing to work with me. I started under the name ‘Rae Gotti’ in 2017 and fell into that naturally by having common interest in rap music/artists with my neighbor at the time Darian Vanover. (FYI: Darian coined the ‘Gotti with tha hitz’ adlib I still use today for various handles lol thank you Mr. Gold!)
