Welcome to Twice 5 Miles Radio, where the art of conversation thrives. I'm your host, James Navé, and I'm delighted to welcome back my guest, Paul O'Connor—a celebrated photographer, sculptor, and visual artist who calls Taos home. Paul's work has left an indelible mark on the art world, and his latest performative book, Taos Portraits: Volume Two, is no exception.

In this episode, we dive deep into the making of this extraordinary book, a collection of 60 black-and-white portraits that capture the essence of Taos's vibrant artistic community. Paul's lens reveals a striking truth: art is a collective experience, and every wrinkle, every story, holds a place in the mosaic of creativity.

We explore Paul's intuitive process, his passion for honoring his subjects, and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into creating an art book of this caliber. Paul's first volume of Taos Portraits, now a collector's item valued at over $1,000, set the stage for this second installment, which he calls "an enduring art piece."

Because Paul features my portrait in his book, during this conversation, I reflect on what it means to be part of this community—an honor shared by many who have shaped Taos's creative spirit.

Our conversation touches on the wrinkles of time, the celebration of maturity in a youth-driven culture, and the stories behind the faces that define Taos. Recorded across the globe—me in Manila, Paul in Crete—we find ourselves grounded in the universal language of art and storytelling.

If you've ever wondered what it takes to create a high-end art book or how an artist turns intuition into legacy, this episode is for you. Mark your calendars for June 6, 2025, when Paul will officially launch Taos Portraits: Volume Two at the Taos Community Auditorium. Until then, please tune in for an inspiring dialogue about art, life, and the wrinkles that make us who we are. Enjoy the show.

🔻 Song Insight: Song Title by 4Me2BeFree
Some betrayals aren’t loud. They don’t explode—they are designed, curated, rehearsed.
Some people don’t love you; they study you.

This song is for anyone who’s ever realized they were just a piece in someone else’s game. For the ones who walked through fire and still weren’t burned enough to play their part. It’s about manipulation disguised as love, about being framed as the villain in someone else’s story.

A match made in heaven, straight to hell. Some plans fail when love refuses to break.

[Intro]
I know you planned my end
[Pause]
A way to see me come undone
[Pause]
Planting seeds, seep deep inside
[Pause]
The depths of hell you upheld your lie

[Verse]
Did you ever think to try?
Is this how you've survived?
What's got you so fucked up inside?

[Chorus]
A match made in heaven driven straight to hell
I thought I'd never see love die
To think you were ever on my side

[Verse]
Your nights awake, planning a break
A slipstream ideas
[Pause]
A way to escape
Having thoughts, you made a plan
Begging me to understand

[Chorus]
History, a time seduced
Hoping to gain control
An illusion you craft alone
No way to deny the lie
[Pause]
You set the trap, Seduction, you think I can't deny
[Pause]
Stop…
[Pause]
Don’t
[Pause]
JUST lose control!
[Pause]
BITCH… Use your fist!
[Pause]
Make me BLEED was your plea, angered threats or you'd leave
Lights, camera, it's your reaction
If only to convince me to take the bait
You needed to be seen
Paint me as your villain

[Outro]
Broken plan I could never understand
To incite anger, fear, it never reared
I didn't see the same you
It was love that was inside of me
Now I see what you could never be

Broken Silence  (Blues) (Explicit)

Burn Up the Stars" by Nada Samir is a hauntingly beautiful dive into vulnerability, power, and cosmic longing. Blending poetic lyrics with dark pop intensity, the song explores what it means to fall apart and still shine. The cover art shows a woman with glowing cracks across her skin, standing beneath a burning starry sky  a visual symbol of silent strength, broken beauty, and emotional fire.

Burn Up the Stars

Legacy is not only something we inherit, it's something we create, something we forge with heart, soul, and energy.
How we leave our legacy is in our hands. Let's make something meaningful out of it.

This track is a tribute to growth, reflection, and the journey of becoming. Whether you're at the start or in the thick of your own path, may it inspire you to keep going.

Guiding Light

Step into a pulsing dream of shadows and light — Destiny is a journey through midnight tones and electrified emotion. Blending the melancholic beauty of minor chords with the vibrant energy of 120BPM, this track evokes the spirit of Depeche Mode reimagined for the digital age. It’s not just EDM — it’s introspection on the dancefloor, mystery in motion, a glimpse into a future both distant and intimate.

Crafted with precision and soul, mastered through intelligent sound, Destiny invites you to close your eyes, move your body, and feel the invisible thread that links rhythm to memory, and sound to sensation.

This is the soundtrack of a nocturnal voyage — cinematic, futuristic, human.

Inspirée du texte russe de Kade.alien, cette vidéo explore les cinq raisons qui font naître l’amour… 
et les cinq raisons qui le brisent.

Entre rêves saturés, couleurs symboliques et fragments de mémoire, le récit avance comme une confession visuelle où passé et présent se frôlent sans jamais se rejoindre.

Mélancolie, poésie, un brin de fatalisme slave — et ce moment où l’on se rend compte que l’histoire continue… même quand on n’y est plus invité.

“Une basse, une boucle, un monde intérieur…”

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.

Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising exchanges with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who speak from the core. Each episode dives beneath the surface to explore the stories and questions that shape our lives.

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.

Amethyst Amaris isn’t just making music—she’s architecting entire worlds. Blending trap, jazz, Indigenous soul, house, and poetry, her sound is a forcefield of raw emotion and higher frequencies. As the visionary behind Black NDN Music (aka Trap Vogue) and her AI band Æon Purrr, she’s dropped over 300 original human-made tracks and 200+ AI-assisted compositions, bending reality with every note. From deeply channeled compositions to AI-infused sonic spells, she stays ahead of time itself. Pay Attention.

"Elevating the pulse, one track at a time."

Born in the Moschato district of Piraeus and raised in Peristeri, Rodolphos grew up immersed in the sounds of classic rock, movie soundtracks, and animated series. Early exposure to artists like the Scorpions, Deep Purple, and the iconic Lion King score ignited a lifelong passion for music. But it wasn't until he stumbled upon the world of psytrance at 14 that his creative path truly took shape.
Inspired by friends, parties, and early music software like Music 2000 and MadTracker 2, Rodolphos began crafting tracks by ear. Though his musical journey has spanned multiple genres, from hip-hop and breakbeat to nu-metal and dubstep, his evolution led him to the melodic techno scene.
His artist name, Rodolphos, is more than a stage alias-it's his middle name, rooted in family history and meaning 'famous wolf.' His current project, Mechthesia, explores the intersection of emotion and technology.
Driven by a dream to tour the world and share his sound across cultures, Rodolphos remains grounded in the joy of creation. He continues to craft party-driven, danceable tracks for festivals and dancefloors. With influences ranging from Anyma and Argy to Skrillex (his dream collaborator), Rodolphos is always pushing boundaries, always evolving.
This is not just music. It's movement. It's Mechthesia.

Nada Samir is a gifted German singer and songwriter hailing from Frankfurt am Main. Born on June 18th, 1996, she has created a unique sound blending elements of pop, indie pop, and R&B soul. Nurturing her passion for music from a young age, she began writing her own songs at the tender age of 13, and by 16, she was sharing her talent by posting cover songs on YouTube. Her music career took off in February 2020, with the release of her debut single "Your Promise." April 2nd, 2021 marked the release of her critically acclaimed debut album, "Heartbroken." And on January 1st, 2023, she has recently dropped her sophomore album "See You Next Life." Her music is an honest reflection of her feelings and experiences, delving into themes of depression and self-discovery.

Born in 1980 under the name KRT, the band began its journey in the raw energy of live shows — in Spain, including a memorable concert in Burgos, and in Brussels at the Teatro. Those early years, intense and furious, were wiped away overnight: all archives, tapes, posters, and memories stolen in a single car theft, as if someone had tried to erase history itself.

By the late ’80s and early ’90s, the group found shelter in the former RKM studio on Avenue Molière in Brussels, under the demanding ear of artistic producer Jean-Claude Maury. From those sessions emerged Fast Beat and The Ballad of the Mouse and the Bird, defining tracks that carved NUR’s sound into stone — dark, restless, untamed.

After a split and years of silence, the band resurfaced under the name NUR, carried this time by the new promise of the digital age. The music could no longer be erased; it was destined to survive.

But fate struck again: the passing of one of the founding members closed the collective chapter. Today, NUR rises once more, as a solo incarnation. More than a project: a resurrection. A flame still burning, more than forty years after its first spark.
