Bioregion: The artificial asphalt paradise between the Southern California desert and the ocean.

This song is my expression of the sadness and frustration of the state of humanity when money and power means more than survival. My video is meant to be a semi-comprehensive view of the state of the health of our planet and the likelihood of having a future on it.

We are at a point in time when even a small individual step in the right direction can unite us together into an insurmountable movement for the preservation of our planet, our personal stories, our art and music, and our love. A perseverance that nothing can stop, and success will be our continuation into the next page of our history.

Thank you to Greenpeace for diligently documenting the state of our world. Much of the footage we were looking for seems to have been carefully erased from the collective online memory, as if someone doesn’t want it to be seen.
