Hi everyone,

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were restful and fun (in whatever way you define that). Mine was full of movies, snacks, chilly walks, and being under a blanket as often as possible.

I just wanted to let you know that my Patreon is now officially open (if you don’t know what I’m referring to, check out this post). Whether you want to join the Undone Rituals Mixtape project or just have a look around, please come on in! I’d love to have you. And don’t forget that the Undone Rituals Mixtape tier is 10% off until the end of March 2025 (if you join at that price, you’ll stay at that price all year).

Eternal Gratitude patrons will get a behind-the-scenes photo from my writing desk & tarot card pull on the 3rd day of each month.

Undone Rituals Mixtape and Cover Song patrons will get four mixtapes, one at the end of each season here in the Northern Hemisphere. Here's my release schedule:

• Winter: March 19

• Spring: June 19

• Summer: September 21

• Fall: December 20

Throughout the year you'll also get updates from the project, every two weeks. This can take the form of posts sharing my idea generation process, behind-the-scenes photos from my writing desk, photos or other writing that inspire each mixtape, and/or craft notes.

I don’t have a set plan for what I want each mixtape to be. To me it’s important to leave room for ideas to follow their own path. I’ll conceptualize and develop each mixtape in its respective season, influenced by the music I’m listening to and what’s floating through the ether in my life at the time. I may also seek your advice through polls, or ask general questions about how you interpret certain project themes. I believe creativity is contagious and I'd love for us both to get inspired. While each mixtape will be a project of my own, I'm excited to see what resonates with you and to hear your own experiences with the things I'm curious about. There's totally no obligation for you to participate, of course!

There’s an About page and a FAQ post on my Patreon page if you have any questions—or you can hit reply and send me an email.

Just a reminder: nothing will change here at Deadmedia, and there is zero (or as they say in French, zéro) pressure to join my Patreon.

Thank you always for your support, either here or elsewhere. I look forward to a very momentum-y 2025 in general and I wish you all the best for your year.

Talk soon,
-Sg.
