Dead Inside

New Demo. Keep going? It’s all midi which is technically dead inside. 💀 There is a punch line at the very end of this song- it’s a phrase someone told me that stuck with me as a good piece of advice on how to persevere while feeling dead inside. If you want to support me…

Sorin’s Theme

It was raining, and this song kept coming into mind, so I took some video.

Hope you get a good sense of the walk!  It was magic.

Blob is the personification of SPLASH, a watery mini-album in the works. They’ve been feeling a little lost and have a story to tell. SPOILER: It’s a love story.

Self-As-Other

Self as Other

What i want for you

dear dear love

 

is infinite

is tender

bubbles with joy

is fresh alpine morning awake tweeting dawn

 

isn’t

anywhere else than here

isn’t

anything else than this

 

a happy morning story

with an adventurous twist- if you like that sort of thing

 

a lullaby that echos as

your own perfect tune

to whistle while you work

 

what i want for you

dear dear love

can’t be held

but it can cradle…

it can’t be lost

but it can be found

 

And

 

here

 

it

 

is

Homeland

homeland

We share the same homeland you and i

*deep unconditioned space*

 

you are my precious self

i am your precious self

 

we are precious precisely

a mathematical certainty

that when you take everything away

you get a whole

0

a black hole

 

conditioned space dances

where time ebbs & flows

but not where we more than touch

** 

so what i’d like to know,

dear world,

is…

 

may i have this dance?

Dead Inside

Featuring AI-generated Art

New Demo. Keep going?

It’s all midi which is technically dead inside. 💀

There is a punch line at the very end of this song- it’s a phrase someone told me that stuck with me as a good piece of advice on how to persevere while feeling dead inside. If you want to support me taking this into studio, here’s the punch line…

The other big thing to say about this demo is that the art is AI. I used the prompt, “dead inside musician composes her opus.”

Sorin’s Theme

A wet autumnal walk

Sing-a-Ling, Video Edition

It was raining, and this song kept coming into mind, so I took some video.

Hope you get a good sense of the walk!  It was magic.

As always I’d love to hear your 3 word impressions.    Mine are:  it’s ok love.

Song: Sorin’s Theme from the Moondrops. Recorded 12 years ago, Sorin’s Theme finally has a video! My feeling tone moments: the little boy singing in the rain, noticing benches communicate and the tree key.

SPLASH drips… 🌊 – a review by Blob


note from the editor –

It is disconcerting to be handed a two word review (splash drips), especially when that includes the title! I’m hoping a little background (video above) on Blob, the personification of SPLASH, will clarify matters…

SPLASH will be released as a playlist in the winter edition of Stripes.
-yours faithfully, m

In the Key of E

I wrote this at the start of lockdowns, for someone far away- whose name begins with E. It’s about the comfort we can take in a memory (the key of E) while things are rough.   It’s draws inspiration from the view of enlightenment.

Click watch in Youtube to replay the live premiere chat.

I did a live Q+A in the chat 🧡. There were a few secrets to tell around this video, so I hope you’ll join in!

Back home.

Couldn’t say it in the moment…but I can say it now!

TRIGGER WARNING: this is a therapy song that emerged. please take care of yourself and watch cautiously, checking in often- or watch later. it is designed to allow space for your own expressions in the middle, so please interact vocally if it brings something up!

ABOUT THIS SONG

* (personal) information-mining man in elevator (the construction sounds are all the sound of that same person working nearby)

* freeze state response

* post-event: this song 

* remembering: a great TED talk by Kasia Urbaniak 

The towering artifice of aloneness.

What you aren’t. (Happy?Fulfilled?)

What does it shine as? ✨pictures + feelings? 🖤 Rumbling story?

How long does it do so?

A frustrating game of pin the tail on the donkey.


Poor donkey.


✨Word now shines as a luminous force of creation-

a playground blossoms between us. ✨


The donkey was tied up- I didn’t know why, and in the realm of humans, neither of us were in social position to play liberator.

We would be together, sometimes- I brought snacks.

Little freedoms in pleasure of basic existence. Food, drink, companionship.

I may never know if he was as sad as I.

Dedicated to the donkey I met in San Pancho, 2017

while in the turmoil of domestic abuse.
