LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. TALK TO PLANTS. IGNORE PEOPLE VINYL
PATREON EXCLUSIVE.
Between about 2004–2015 and the album’s release in 2018, I went through a major life crisis. My grandmother passed, relationships fell apart, friendships soured, I got laid off, and I bounced between couches before getting and losing my own apartment. Through all of it, I kept making music—slowly, maybe a beat or two a week—and over three years I stacked ideas while redefining myself and ultimately becoming Conductor Williams.
On nights when I was getting ready for jobs I hated or staying with friends, I dreamed about putting this album out on vinyl. Listen to Your Body, Talk to Plants, Ignore People wasn’t just a title—it was the mindset that got me through.
Around 2013–2014, I discovered mindfulness for the first time. I had prayed before, but meditation was new to me. I quit drinking, started taking care of my health, worked out, and shifted to a mostly vegetarian diet. I saw plants as living things that could support my healing, and that reset helped ground me.
“Ignore people” was something I lived literally. I cut off almost everyone except my mom and dad—even my brother Les. My thinking was: if I could get through this period alone and come back later to apologize, the people who truly loved me would still be there. And honestly, only a few were. Shout out to Morgan Cooper and Les Ismore.
Eventually, things started moving for me again. I rebuilt what relationships I could and met the woman who is now my wife—one of the first people I opened up to after that whole journey.
In the end, Listen to Your Body, Talk to Plants, Ignore People wasn’t just a cool beat title. It was my healing process.
ENJOY
