The bedroom is an inner space. I took it deeper, making a bed inside the closet. I covered the surface of my inner world with pictures, a room inside a room. San Francisco 1999

Psycho Horses is a Western, remarkable how much is revealed once a work is out. Thanks to everyone who’s listening, buying merch, and coming to the shows.

"Hey Rusty! I saw your post about turning your bedroom into a layered inner space—it’s such a unique concept! That made me think about the sonic layers that can shape music in a similar way. Since you're swinging by Austin in March for the show, let me know if you’d like to stop by the studio and lay down a track or two. 🎶"

"Hi Rusty, I'm Kasper, an audio engineer here in Austin. I loved reading about your creative process in turning your bedroom into that layered inner space. It's a fascinating approach to both art and music! Since you'll be in Austin for your show in March, it could be a great opportunity to swing by the studio if you have some time. Would love to see what we could create together. Best, Kasper Pickett"
