For Horologica, time is both a profession and a muse. A professional horologist by day, the Wisconsin-born artist spends his nights meticulously crafting a different kind of precision—the emotional kind. His second collection of songs, the EP I Want It More Than Anyone, officially arrives today, led by the luminous, harmony-drenched focus track “Feather.”
The project captures the delicate balance between the structure of a watchmaker’s workbench and the fluid, fleeting nature of human connection.

Instinct in Motion: “Feather”
The lead single, “Feather,” is a testament to the power of creative lightning. While Horologica’s day job requires extreme patience, this track was born from a 45-minute burst of inspiration at the piano.
- Collaborative Depth: To bring the demo to life, Horologica teamed up with a Grammy-winning production team, transforming the initial sketch into a layered, harmony-rich masterpiece.
- The Vibe: Light, romantic, and effortlessly uplifting, the song uses vocal interplay to create a sense of weightless movement.
- The Message: Reflecting on love and identity with conversational sincerity, “Feather” serves as the emotional anchor for the EP’s broader themes of optimism.
The Watchmaker’s Night Shift
The name “Horologica” isn’t just an alias; it’s a reflection of a dual life. Working with time in its most precise physical form allows the artist to spend his evenings exploring what time feels like.
- Therapeutic Release: For Horologica, songwriting is a vital processing tool. “This music is a piece of my soul,” he shares. “It’s so therapeutic to release this.”
- The Sound: Characterized by melodic instincts and a deep affection for vocal harmonies, his music bridges the gap between structured intention and emotional freedom.
“Where his work as a horologist measures time, his music captures what happens within it.”
