  • Damages: Part Seven – Fragments

    Part Seven of the Damages series explores identity fragmentation. This post reveals how trauma shattered coherence, and how music became the only way to contain the selves that formed in the aftermath.

  • Damages: Part Six – No Safe Distance

    Part Six of the Damages series ties everything together. This post explores what it means to live with no safe distance when synesthesia and trauma combine to eliminate all buffers between experience and impact. It’s not intensity. It’s over-receiving, and it rewires everything.

  • Damages: Part Five – Dust

    Dust isn’t collapse. It’s the quiet weight that follows. In Part Five of the Damages series, I explore how dust lives in the residue of grief, the static of memory, and the sonic spaces we don’t clean, and how it reshapes everything you try to build.

  • Damages: Part Four – No Clear Devil

    Not every trauma has a villain. In Part Four of the Damages series, I explore how C-PTSD shaped my nervous system through contradiction, unresolved signals, and emotional collisions and how that experience rewrote my music from the inside out.

  • Damages: Part Three – the Personification of Rot

    Rot isn’t decay. It’s presence. In Part Three of the Damages series, I describe how rot distorts memory, corrupts texture, and rewrites comfort into discomfort and how this presence shaped the structure and sound of the album from the inside out.

  • Damages: Part Two – Tasting Color

    Synesthesia isn’t a metaphor. In Part Two of the Damages series, I explain how I literally taste music, feel emotion as texture, and re-enter memory as full-body experience. This post unpacks how that shapes the sound and structure of every track on the album.

  • Damages: Part One – Jon Hadley

    This isn’t just an album. It’s structure built from impact. In Part One of the Damages series, I introduce the way I process the world through fragments, memory, and emotional weight… and why this record exists not as a product, but as necessity.
