Captain Lord Wizard

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Captain Lord Wizard examines my ongoing photographic collaboration with Larry Sievers, a 79-year-old musician and poet based in Iowa City, Iowa. Since 2023, I have documented Larry’s ongoing practice of composing progressive metal and fantasy-inspired synthesizer music within the domestic space of his apartment, where he has recorded hundreds of full-length albums to cassette tape. Through photographing Larry’s commitment to music, media, and world-building, I reflect on the rhythms of our weekly visits—where conversations alternate between the joys of creating sound and the apprehensions of a radically free and creative life.
