I make videos and music to discuss social indoctrination, relationships, and sexuality. We develop identities from the limited beliefs and customs of our culture, then internalize our differences to get through life comfortably. To prevent ourselves from implosion, we must break repressive confines. Artmaking is an attempt for me to live openly and connect with others, and in the best case, help others recognize their own confines to break.

We are animals, and our culture is created by us in an ever-present and changing universe.

How It Got Burned | Love Rocket

"Love Rocket" by How It Got Burned Video compiled by Nathan Joseph Nager using clips from the "Planet of the Apes" movie series, "Lost in Space," "Gravity," "Bobby Gee: Space Monkey," "Project Astronaut," and many from NASA, PeriscopeFilm.com, and archive.org ______________________________________________ "Love Rocket" Oxygen excited breathes life into the engine exhales carbonous clouds of energy into our wake Incinerate! Propel to where we aim We break the sky. Atmosphere sets fire, but we tear right through. Enter orbit after burning. Oxidized black powder breathes life into the engine exhales the sun in our wake; a mistaken calculation to empty space’s endless range. As the stars spin around us (spin around us), consciousness slowly goes. Erased; eyes draw up a blank Event horizon... Sirens sing inward spin... tripped the event… pulled into the void crushing... You and i just might... Mass confusion in our eyes... Mirrored spheres we roll to singularity we freeze Oxygen and water knead life out of the body and exhale our combusted hearts as we slowly turn to ash. Come precious stardust: we are one at last. ____________________________________________ How It Got Burned is Nathan, Jake and Ryan. Desire was performed by How It Got Burned at Atlas Studios in Chicago, Illinois in 2017; Engineered by Dan Tinkler; Produced by Dan Tinkler and How It Got Burned; Mixed by Dan Tinkler and How It Got Burned; Mastered at The Boiler Room by Collin Jordan in Chicago, Illinois.
