THE RECORD / SIDE A

NO AI.
NO FAKE
VOICES.
JUST US.

Real instruments. Real human voices. Real songs written from a life that didn't happen inside a machine.

This is Two-Bit — guitars, drums, voices, and the rough edges left where they belong. Some of these songs have followed me for years. I finally got them on record. I didn't ask an algorithm to live any of it for me.

The digital record came out July 4. Now there's a physical edition: a 250-copy vinyl pressing and a CD. Put it on. Turn it up. Hold on to something a little more real.

THE LAST STREET KID / BOOK ONE

I DIDN'T GROW UP ONLINE.
I GREW UP OUT THERE.

I'm Bryan “Gemini” Done. Ogden, Utah. I came up on 25th Street, where strangers became brothers and the night had a way of turning into next week.

Warped Tour. Burning Man. Ken Kesey. The shit we did to survive, and the people who didn't make it home. I'm writing it down without sanding it clean enough to sell to polite company.

Two books. One life. Book One ends around the Moontribe trip and my daughter's birth. Start here. Stay for what comes next.

THE PROMISE

IF IT SOUNDS HUMAN,
THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS.

No artificial singer. No generated guitar player. No synthetic drummer impersonating a person. The music comes from actual performances. The book comes from actual memories. Technology can carry the work, but it doesn't get to replace the living part.
