"Give us language to express
the timing of the endlessness.
Give us language to impress
our forms upon the emptiness.
As interns of eternity
in turn
we shall eternal be"

The Michaelangelo that can be googled is not The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo.
Originating in The Netherlands,
The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo is a creator of cosmic, comedic, and contemplative content.
Sometimes credited as Void Denizen, he is a multi-dimensional artist and storyteller with a psychoactive personality and oracular sensibilities.
This bardo bard comes equipped with a quickSilver tongue and mercurial mind, and utilizes pareidolic divination, wit, wordplay, and a 6th sense of humor to mindfully investigate where the limits of language meet the fringes of reality.
🎨 ✍🏻 🎞 📖 🎶 🎭 😂 🔮 🪆
His work finds expression through visual art, written and spoken word, film, music, puppetry, uncanny impressions, performance, and Oracular Interactions.
📖 🗣️ 🛸
He is the author of The He & The She of It, Impatient Transformations, and Lore Spores, Vol. 1.
He is the host and creator of the podcast Self Portraits As Other People, the narrator of Consciousness and The Bicameral Mind: The Julian Jaynes Society podcast, and provides the voice of Terence Mckenna to bring to life his old correspondences on Terence McKenna's Blue Streak podcast.
He is none of the things he says he is, and more.

This is the journey of the inwards gaze, and the outwards ways in which that journey distorts and contorts itself into expression.

I am a representative for underrepresented dimensions of reality--the introcosm, dimensions of dream, inner vision, and journeys beyond the word. In my book Lore Spores, vol. 1 I make a distinction between Realm and Lore. "The Realm is the Renowned Unknown—though its presence is felt, it remains intangible, unspeakable." "The Lore," is defined as "what we’ve learned from our encounters with The Realm. It falls between rumor and reality, belief and superstition, between gossip and gospel. The Lore is ecstatic, not static. Its symbolism is dynamic, fluid, not fixed in its meaning. Ever in relationship with its origins in the abstract domain of The Realm, The Lore is an articulate distortion of The Realm’s pure expression—what in psychiatry is referred to as a “confabulation,” an unintended deception. In The Realm all is one, timeless and placeless, whereas in The Lore all is manifold, tied to time and place. The Lore is how The Realm reflects itself in our world. The Lore does not extinguish The Realm, it distinguishes The Realm. It does not solve the mystery, it serves the mystery. "
Much of my work is an effort to outline a worldview I've come to call "MetaRealism." It stands in as the overlooked, "secret third thing" beyond the dichotomy of idealism and reductive materialism. In a sense it is a kind of EXPANSIVE materialism that takes seriously the implicit complicity of language in the construction of perceived, along with its persistent illusions, as well taking seriously such things as folklore, dream, precognition, and magic, without the need to take leave of the material world in favor of confabulated abstractions of the spirit. Microbial Occultism is a sub-division of MetaRealism. It is a deconstruction of our ordinary conceptions of identity and reality from the human vantage point. It embraces animistic notions that underline the principles of life by examining micro-organisms as the non-human, spiritual realities--spiritual entities that build, break down, and sustain the world and our bodies, so that we may play-act who we believe we are in the theater of human artifice. This podcast episode with the brilliant Fishing in Space dives deep into these themes, as do the select articles (and audio-plays) below.
In 2026 I became ordained as a minister. The short film, below, tells the story of how this vocation took shape and extended itself beyond the human world.
Aside from contuing the legacies of Julian Jaynes and Terence Mckenna, I am also an embassador of my own lineage, honoring the memory, art, and heart of my own ancestors.
A Bardo Bard is a liminal lyricist, a poetic explorer of the space between, an approximator of things deemed unspeakable, and no-things unseen. In this role I strive to transcend the established order of The Word, in order to "disguise the limit" and confidently confide in my audience the secret secretions of my internal journeys.
Perhaps this is an unnecessary subdivision in the Bardo Bard job description, but it speaks to a particular brand of "interdimensional diplomacy" or interspecies communication. This short episode of SPAOP uses the anecdote of an exchange I made with a spider, during an Ayahuasca ceremony, and the reconciliation with parasitic forces (I contracted Leishmaniasis, a flesh-eating protozoan infection while I lived in the Mexican jungle) as exemplary illustrations of the MetaRealism worldview in action. Paradise Has Parasites features a series of short, modular Ayahuasca stories that culminate in an encounter with a different kind of personified parasitic entity, years earlier.
Three studio albums, ranging from the astral orchestral psychedelic rock ensemble Morph Dwarf, to the Bardic, cinematic folk band TheaTerRa, to the cosmicomedic eclectic rap & rhapsodies of Void Denizen. A new song cycle is currently in the works. I am also slowly trickling older, unreleased tunes into the pool.

Praise for The Ungoogleable
"One of the most creative and talented minds out there right now." -Colin Frangicetto, artist & guitarist of Circa Survive
"[Michaelangelo is] a multi-talented, psychedelicized, and exceptionally witty [...] wordsmith with a great gift for impressions, puns, neologisms, and accents." -Erik Davis, author of Techgnosis
"Michaelangelo is a combination of Robin Williams, Michael Winslow, and Terence Mckenna all in one. A fascinating character." -Ramin Nazer, artist & host of The Rainbow Brainskull Podcast
"...an exceptional mind. [...] It was said that Stanley Kubrick, whenever he said anything, spoke on four different levels at once. The literal, the metaphorical, the allegorical, and the spiritual. Michaelangelo has a similar multi-dimensional lexicon." -Charles Shaw, filmmaker, author of Exile Nation
"Slick mercurial vanguard... whose creativity is too extensive for a single set of senses" -Michael Garfield, artist & host of Future Fossils Podcast
"A modern master of the gnomic aphorism." -JF Martel, author of Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, host of Weird Studies
"Dazzlingly prodigious... [Michaelangelo's] multiple talents resemble siddhis..." -Jasun Horsley, author of Prisoner of Infinity
"Extraordinary! An intellectual tour-de-force!" -Anthony Peake, author of The Daemon: A Guide To Your Extraordinary Secret Self
“Michaelangelo has one of the most dynamic arsenals I’ve encountered in all my artistic undertakings. He has a mastery of language and great philosophical depth, coupled with a sincere and unencumbered collaborative spirit. He knows how to nurture and expand a creative idea, and how to strategize about actualizing and presenting it. He’s been instrumental for me both with tangibles like brand development and website design, and in the conceptual territory of defining my space as an artist and activist. I highly recommend him for consultation, ideation and collaboration.” -Nathan Dufour Oglesby, PhD, writer / rapper / educator @ Nathanology
