-[Northern Information](/2023/11/18/ending-a-company/) is the abstraction of artist Tyler Etters.
+Tyler Etters is a midwestern musician holed-up in the mountains by Los Angeles, and [Northern Information](/2023/11/18/ending-a-company/) is my digital abstraction.
 
-My practice incorporates software, electronic music, writing, new media, design, and photography.
+Music is how I choose to contribute to the world. [Listen](https://discography.tyleretters.com) or [watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT82FIPARv0&list=PLe1BFUbUceS0P4tJzlW0qEFnOpx4kOr1I). My primary project is [They Became What They Beheld](https://tbwtb.com), but I have plenty of others like [Stuxnet](https://stuxnet.me) & [Northern Information](https://northerninformation.bandcamp.com).
 
 I work at [Output, Inc.](https://output.com) as a Senior Web Engineer.

 I believe artists have two jobs:
 
-1. Not give up.
-2. Help others not give up.

-Because my work is conceptually-rooted, I have learned multiple mediums. My favorites are music, software, and photography.
+1. To not give up.
