So to start off, for, for people who aren't familiar with your work outside of music, you know, you, you've talked about it a little bit, but maybe you could tell us a bit about the different creative disciplines that you work in.

So the mediums, at some point they just get to serve, uh, ideas rather than ideas serving a medium.
