Zachary Murdock: Musician, Poet, Web3 x IRL Creative Director, Host of The Pink Hearse Podcast, Founder of Channel the Sun.
Nose in a novel. Raising a child. Humming Sly and the Family Stone. Writing pre-dawn poetry. Cooking. Cleaning. Exercising. Rinse and repeat. My daily life is simple. And this routine allows me to be the farmer of an overflowing dream vineyard. Poetry into songs, songs into visions, visions into webs of community and collaboration. I live and breathe creativity in all forms and am grateful to be navigating reality on a trippy Quixote steed in the form of a pink hearse with hubcap mirrors.
A consummate musical shapeshifter, Zachary Murdock is a naturally gifted creative who embodies the definitive spirit of raw creativity. He creates supreme funk, futuristic soul music that inspires personal revelation through off-the-wall fantasy.
His lyricism and poetic scripting paint on a universe-sized canvas, and his rhythm and groove reflect desires of the inner soul to dance and be free. In a day and age where unfiltered honesty is in high demand, Zachary Murdock does so with ease, channeling the sun to create something both contemporary and timeless.
DYING TO KNOW is the latest experimental project from this ever evolving artist. Truly a project that defies definition, DYING TO KNOW is a podcast season, musical album
and short film all woven into one expression. Zachary Murdock, founder of The
Channel the Sun Art Collective and host of The Pink Hearse Podcast, had the concept
to interview legendary mythologist, storyteller, author and host of The Living Myth
Podcast, Michael Meade, and then break the conversation into eight sections which
spell a sentence in totality. Zachary then wrote eight songs to accompany the sections
and fused the parts together to create an album that flows between music and Michael
Meade speaking timeless wisdom. In an age of social media gurus and out of touch pop
puppets, Zachary Murdock and Michael Meade deliver a striking creation that evokes
the nuance and paradox of existence. “Letters To A Young Poet” meets “Lemonade” by
Beyoncé, “Dying To Know,” transcends mediums and announces itself as something
new and yet, intimately familiar. To complete the vision, Zachary collaborated with
visionary director, Anthony Ryan Johnson to create a visual album / short film. Forever
pushing the boundaries of what is, Zachary and Channel the Sun never cease inventing
what could be.
This project was created by Channel the Sun, The Pink Hearse Podcast, Zachary
Murdock, Michael Meade, Kevin Joseph, Red Buttonz, Girl Food, Anthony Ryan
Johnson, Erick Madrid, Davi Escobar, Afro Spirit Art and Brad Doan. Enjoy the visual
album in partnership released on Exquisite Noise Records.
