Spooncer Tweedy
b.1995 in Chicago
I play drums and I write.
I make records and tour with my dad, with Casey Walker, and with various friends and family members. I run a studio in Chicago with my bandmate Jason, deets to be announced. I wrote a book about musicians who record at home, Mirror Sound. I help produce an annual music festival with my friend Hayden on his farm.
I love design and tinkering with computers. (But not the kind of design that saps wildness out of life!) I want to see a return of the cottage industry of computing. (We can do our part by making little personal websites.) I think it’s possible for artists to make platforms that supersede the shitty ones run by careless/malicious people.
I love records that fuse the newfangled with the oldfangled. I’m learning how to abolish fear, to perform as if I don’t exist.
I have an undergraduate degree in philos, sorry. I volunteer on the board of a direct-cash-infusion org, a food justice org, and a local arts org. I think cooperation is generally better than competition and if we wanna make life better, we gotta convince other people that that’s the case.
