“Each new page is an expression of something terrible“–Emerson Barrett on art and philosophy

Emerson Barrett can be seen behind the drum kit on stages all across the world with up-and-coming rock ’n roll family band, and ALTPRESS cover stars, Palaye Royale. But hidden under Barrett’s signature pirate garb lives the mind of a budding philosopher who’s striving to use his influence on Palaye’s rabidly growing fanbase to transpose his passion for free-thought, architecture and Existentialism. In this APTV exclusive, Barrett walks us through sketchbooks stuffed with meticulously drawn landscapes and explains his mission to instill a sense of smell into modern art.
