Dye's recent investigations of aesthetics have been focused on exploring the intersections between narration and lyricism, while insisting upon minimalist compositions and narratives.
Textually, he has focused on the struggle of maintaining relationships, themes of intense self-assessment, and exploring the intricacies associated with striving for states of happiness despite urges to honor a moralistic view of what actually constitutes a healthy being.
His latest narrative film is "Verses and Circuses", a cooperative endeavor with his friend and collaborator, Jarrod White. The film concerns a struggling hip hop MC who is spiraling out of control as he deals with an estrangement from a mysterious woman, as well as with how his audience receives and interacts with his music.
Dye's most recent project, titled "Siberia", is a diary film and a landscape study set in rural Pennsylvania.
​
Upcoming work includes an avant-garde survey of neon lights in North Philadelphia's Kensington and Frankford neighborhoods.
