Written by strange-tundra composer Xxhe using the sounds of ice, wind, choir, vocal recordings, breathy synthesizers, and orchestral instruments, the Strange-Tundra Opera is not just music, but a grandiosely garmented and glacial tale.

Following creatures made entirely of light whose language can only be sung and is unpronounceable spoken, their language fills the music of the opera ethereally and sometimes painfully.

Composed at the age of seventeen, the music is simple and wind-heavy yet iceic and haunting.

This compilation features the music from the live show with narration.

Welcome to Twice 5 Miles Radio. I’m your host, James Navé. In this episode, I have the great pleasure of speaking with my longtime friend, John Biscello—a gifted writer, actor, poet, and theater director who’s been shaping the artistic landscape of Taos, New Mexico for over two decades.

John and I connected across the Atlantic—he in Taos and me in a 6th-floor studio on rue Dauphine in Paris. In this lively conversation, John and I discuss his latest youth theater production, Neverland Noir, a metaphysical remix of Peter Pan featuring 30 young performers. The show premieres at the Wildflower Playhouse in Taos, April 11–13.

John founded the Taos Youth Ensemble over ten years ago, and in that time, he discovered just how transformative the creative process can be for young people. Our conversation explores how theater teaches flexibility, confidence, collaboration, and the power of embracing mistakes onstage as creative gold.

We also dive into John’s rich, multidisciplinary creative life—his work as a novelist, playwright, spoken word artist, and filmmaker—and how Taos continues to be a haven for imaginative expression. As always, our talk reminded me why we make art first: to connect, grow, and honor the magic in things not going quite as planned.

Adamski the Creator

The end of anything tells you what it really was.

A relationship. A season. A song.

You can start with the best intentions, but the way it ends?
That’s the final truth. That’s what echoes.

In today’s episode, I explore the sacred geometry of endings—how closure brings clarity, and why finishing is often the most creative act of all.

Because endings aren’t failures.

They are ceremonies.

And they’re always the beginning of something else.

Ep.35 The Sacred Geometry of Endings

Inhale the Light / Exhale the Dark
A Two-Part Musical Journey

Inhale the Light is the first movement of a two-part musical experience that explores the emotional cycle of transformation — from light to shadow, from clarity to chaos, and ultimately toward resolution.

Part I, Inhale the Light, begins with a sense of calm and breath — an intentional space filled with warmth, optimism, and subtle beauty. It's the inhale before the descent, capturing moments of hope, reflection, and the quiet strength that precedes darkness.

Part II, Exhale the Dark, is currently in production. It will pick up where Part I leaves off — descending into heavier emotional terrain. Where Inhale the Light gently opens the door, Exhale the Dark will push through it, confronting the weight, intensity, and eventual release that comes with the darker side of the journey.

Together, these two pieces form a complete arc — a musical inhale and exhale — reflecting the duality we all move through in life: peace and pain, light and shadow, clarity and confusion.

Stay tuned for Part II – Exhale the Dark. It’s still unfolding... and it’s going to be powerful.

Part I: Inhale The Light

Ron’s Top Hat is more than a song—it’s a statement. Crafted in the rolling studio of a converted bus deep in Carver, Massachusetts, this track was written, recorded, and built from the ground up by independent artist Ron Delorean and his musical partner Navi (aka Navador).

This 4-minute and 20-second masterpiece blends gritty bars, jazzy keys, live guitar riffs, and the kind of heart you can’t fake. With Ron on the mic, and drums and Navi on strings and rhythm, this isn’t just music—it’s a lifestyle. It’s freedom. It’s about taking what you’ve got and making something timeless.

If you’ve been following my journey—whether it was through “Big Red Bow” or the early bus studio sessions—this is the one that ties it all together. Suits, soul, struggle, and shine. You’ll hear it in every line.

The track was originally titled “Yours, Mine & Ours”, then “Black Top Hat”, and now? It’s “Ron’s Top Hat”—because this is personal. This is legacy.

We made this for the underdogs, the dreamers, and the ones making art in motion. If it hits you in the chest, share it. We’re just getting started

In episode, Tim goes off script and gets personal with a candid reflection on sequels, what works, what doesn't, and why we’re often left disappointed. From Moana 2 and Poker Face to Aussie thrillers like The Dry and its follow-up Force of Nature, he explores why follow-ups can struggle to capture the magic of originals. Along the way, Tim shares his own writing journey, tackling sequels, horror, and new genres with honesty and excitement. It is not about the answers, just opinions, and you are invited to join the conversation.

Today on the show, I'm pleased to welcome Donald Graham, an internationally acclaimed photographer whose portraits, landscapes, and stories span the globe—from high fashion in Paris to mountain lions prowling the wilds of Taos, New Mexico.

Don's work is housed in collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the International Center of Photography, and his black-and-white portrait book "One of a Kind" has garnered over 40 international awards.

We met by chance at an after-party in Taos and found ourselves deep in conversation about photography, light, and the animals that roam his high desert land. That moment led to this interview. In our conversation, 

Don takes us from the glamour of Vogue shoots in Paris to the quiet solitude of waiting for a bear to appear on a trail cam. 

We discuss photography as an act of presence, empathy, and uncovering stories behind the eyes of a subject. He offers technical insights, soulful reflections, and a few hard-earned truths about making a life in the arts.

So pour a cup of coffee, settle in, and join me for this intimate and far-reaching conversation with a man who's spent his life pointing a lens at the world—and seeing what most of us miss.

Struggling with clipping masks in InDesign? You’re not alone! Unlike Photoshop, InDesign doesn’t have a direct clipping mask tool, but here’s the secret: draw a shape, place your image underneath, then use the “Paste Into” command. This masks your image perfectly inside any shape—great for catalogs, flyers, or social media layouts. Adjust the image inside using the Direct Selection Tool, keep shapes simple, and use high-res photos for best results. Once you master this, your designs will look sharp and professional every time. Ready to try? Let’s dive in!  More information: www.expertclipping.com

Welcome to Twice 5 Miles Radio. I'm your host, James Navé. Today, I'm joined by Juliet Ewing, a dynamic jazz vocalist whose journey from Broadway stages to intimate New York jazz clubs is as lyrical as the songs she sings.
'
A classically trained musical theater performer, Juliet speaks candidly about creativity, joy, and the art of telling the truth through song. We dive deep into her transformation from touring musicals like Crazy for You and Footloose to developing her sold-out cabaret "Rise Up Singing: The Music of George Gershwin," now culminating in her upcoming album Simply'S Wonderful.

Juliet unpacks the layers of perfectionism, the power of storytelling in music, and how Gershwin's lyrics still break hearts a century later. We talk rehearsal, spontaneity, roses, and the jazz of living well. Juliet's voice—clear, radiant, intelligent—carries more than a tune. Her voice carries a lifetime of artistic devotion, grit, and joy. If you've ever wondered where the magic lives in a song, this conversation will bring you home.

I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime creative collaborator. With an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and decades of teaching experience across the globe, I help writers and performers tap into their authentic voices through public speaking, creative writing, and the Imaginative Storm method, which I co-developed with Allegra Huston.

My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer (3: A Taos Press), documents a hundred days of healing and poetic reckoning. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience—practical guides for anyone seeking to speak and write with more truth and power.

I’ve directed festivals, hosted literary salons, taught with Julia Cameron, and memorized over 600 poems. I still believe in the power of a well-told story, the light through stained glass, and the open road with nothing but a podcast and a windshield full of stars.
