🎵 It's Official! Into The Ether® is Mine!?!?

Advice for anyone in the United States who is thinking about trademarking anything...do it now! You'll thank yourself a year from now. That is how long mine took. June 06, 2025 it wasn't a conscious decision as I remember it was more of an 'autopilot' pull at my gut telling me I better trademark my name. I trust my gut. So I did. FINALLY June 30th, 2026 it went through. I'm just glad and grateful it is all done.


🎵 'Into The Ether' on Streaming Platforms

I always told myself when my trademark went through, I would decide 'then' to put my 'After Ashes EP' of 7 songs on all streaming platforms. I plan on adding it to Spotify and Apple Music. Just those two. My 7 song EP is an album arc of songs sung by one of my characters named Christian. I'm hoping all of that goes smoothly!

Other ways of hearing my EP see below:

🎵 First NovaVision Music Contest in June!

On Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 19:00 GMT my latest video 'I Don't Reach, I Know' video premiered during MrWhoLab's live NovaVision Music Contest! The goal of the night was sharing everyone's work and it was so great...all of it! I've never had more fun watching a live stream then that! In the lineup of 21 entries, I was 10th being premiered. When the voting was done and tallied, I came in 10th 🙌😄🤗 MrWhoLab announced closer to October 2026 he is going to have a 2nd one so I hope to be able to participate in that one too! He did such a great job organizing it all!


🎵 MobVision Song Contest - 3rd Edition

A 'month long' contest that I am a part of is 'MobVision'. I entered to represent Pennsylvania, United States and the song I chose was 'Enough'. I decided on that one since it has a happier up beat sound and maybe my character Reuben who is the singer in it may catch some peoples eye with the video.🙌😄🤗

Participants vote on qualifier rounds they are assigned.
Voting for qualifiers ends July 5th.

On that day I'll know if my song has made it to one of 2 semi finals.

Semi Final 1 Show is hosted on July 6th
🙌UPDATE: "Enough" qualified to be in Semi-Final 1🙌
Thank you to everyone who voted for my song!!!

Semi Final 2 Show is hosted on July 8th

Semi Final 1 voting ends July 13
Semi Final 2 voting ends July 15

People who win those advance to the Grand Final which is hosted on Monday July 27, 2026 and there you can see who wins the whole thing!!!

My official entry into the NovaVision Music Contest – Ist Edition!

🎬 "I Don't Reach, I Know" (Cinematic Alternative Metal) by Into The Ether™

Don't let anyone stop you from manifesting your dream future...including yourself.

"I Don't Reach, I Know" follows Christian as he confronts a darker version of himself, representing fear, doubt, and the search for validation.

The result is a visual story about self-acceptance, inner knowing, and the realization that certainty is not something we strive for—it can be something we manifest.

Happy June! I missed the 1st again! 😮 The days are flying by I can't keep up! This monthly post, is what happened in May and what I plan on doing in June!

🎵 'Miles' by Into The Ether™ featured on Slash Music.

I was surprised on May 30th, a rep reached out to me from Slash Music via email asking if I wanted to be featured in another article for my song and video for 'Miles'.

To be transparent, it is an online site that has paid placement promotions. The lowest plan, $50, they write an article on your song and you or project. They keep the article on their website forever with your embedded video and links to all your socials/website in it. They also for that amount share if you have an IG reel on their feed with a link.

On Monday June 1, they posted it and Miles got more views, very nice people commenting on it, and new subscribers from it so hello if that is you!

So if you are a music maker and ever get approached by Slash Music I would highly recommend saying yes.

Guess I joined a “cult” 😏
Okay… maybe not a cult… but definitely a movement 😄
This is a cheeky nod to anyone who still refuses to see the value in AI…
So I guess I’ll just be a proud member of the club.

The Latin on the design:

“Cultus Intellectus Artificialis”
→ “Cult of Artificial Intelligence”

“Usu consummatur intellectus”
→ “Understanding is perfected through use.”

In other words…
you don’t really get it until you start using it. ❤
