*Howdy~ My name is Rip & I live/work in Oakland & Santa Cruz, Calif. I work as a high school SpEd teacher & lov to dabble in visual art, and make outsider, doom folk, art punk, no wave music. It sorta sounds like a mix of Syd Barrett, The Olivia Tremor Control, Swell Maps, & Beat Happening. In the past, I've played a show as Daniel Johnston’s guitarist, toured around, collaborated/co-facilitated/organized various initiatives, and dissected a baby Salmon shark for a Shark Week pilot. Not all on the same day though... I like to make art and songs about late-stage excesses/oppressions, doomscrolling, and eating for taste. What do you like to do with your time?
