Salt Grain Vibrations
An argument for sound’s potential healing resonance in affecting cells, etc., and also, just beautiful to behold.
Alan Parsons’ Art and Science of Sound Recording – A Brief History Of Recording
Full Circle Dance
Here is my chance – at last, at last!
Oh how I have waited for this repast
Through loneliness, hunger
And tragedies vast
Oh great Awakener
Redeeming my chance!
Book Of The Day: Alan Parsons’ Art & Science Of Sound Recording
A Dream Come True
One of my music technology classes is beginning with Alan Parsons, who also produced Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side Of The Moon!”
This artist was one of the biggest influences on my internal dreamscaping as a child.
The Call For Submissions
“My wild magic and I are not sure what this would gain us, because we are not trying to compete for attention.”
Genres
“I guess I’m a ‘folk’ singer?”
David Bowie Advice To Artists
Artists
Song Creation
“I am quite surprised by what comes out of my mouth when I try to find voice in lyrics.”
A New Project
Mimicry
“I guess we are all just riffing off of others’ art in one form or another that inspires our own evolution.”
Revivalism
Pleasure vs pain
Hear: we go again
Supposed dichotomy
But merely positioning
Connected by a cord of
Reflexive self definition
Any loss is heart breaking
And love is allowed purity
Extremes are not the only
Dictate for experiencing
Goodness in charity does
Not have to be dust-pasty
And heat’s revivalism does
Not need Hell’s propagating
For sweet to know bitter
Doesn’t need bittersweet
Passion’s Release
“Some lovers demand a sacrifice
A constant bloodletting fealty
An all-consuming codependency
Where the host feeds its parasite
Maybe that’s why wild magic and I tease
We are both independent, refuse shackling
Like tiny, willful dragonlets landing briefly
Transfixing and coaxing our souls’ release
But what am I without form’s definition?
And what is a song without lips to sing?
It seems we are caught up in an impasse
Forced to build trust while intertwining”
Artist Dedication: Sleep Token
Thank you for understanding the deeper hurts and more extreme struggles, and by conveying your thematics so beautifully, giving hope and shelter in the darkness when it seems there is nothing and no one.
(Something About You – Elderbrook, Live One Take, The Eye Sessions)
Artist Dedication: Elderbrook
The more I happen across this artist’s music, the more it soothes and redeems my soul.
Thank you for all of your amazing work.
Identity
“Sometimes I feel depressed because there are so many great artists out there doing some version of what I long to be.
And I keep being held back from pursuing my personal self expressioning.
But I need to remind nyself that the work I will create will uniquely represent me.”
(Starrider – Foreigner)
Singin’ In The Wind
Spinnin’ songs like silken wings seeking wind to carry them farther.

Beating on the locks encasing my heart.

Creationism
There is more than one use for this word.
It is the embodiment of artistic spirit within the self which must generate creations from its internal realm to give to external realms.
Solitude
In these deeper mysteries questing
No one may journey except the self
Except those who recognize that
Heart’s creativity leads to wealth.
Ira Glass On Storytelling 1
Above The World
There is something about flying over continents and passing through broadcast airwaves that allows the creative intuitive to capture and siphon into reality aspects that are meaningful.
Birthday Call
My eldest lovingly and jokingly calls me eccentric, and is it strange that we consider this a compliment?
Tools Of The Trade
Tinkering while assembling
Aspects of wildling creativity
All are scattered around me as
I develop skills into categories.
(Your Side Of Town – The Killers)
A lovely blend sounding of New Order’s “Truth Faith,” Daft Punk’s “Instant Crush,” and something more.
Coming Soon
Yessss, soon I shall post my first fledgling project…!
Wildling
When I try to record my wild side singing, she hides out of view and what comes out is a mere croaking memory.
Theatrical Arts
Acting is playing pretend in profoundly meaningful and innovative levels.
Yet, writing’s creation develops entire universes.
What Is Bliss?
I worry for myself. I worry for others.
My Youtube algorythm has just sent me the lovely and dense album by the band Ulvesang that I have just posted.
Its tones resonate like those of Michael Hedges’ and its lush emotional saturation flows into my being, filling the aches of empty spaces.
I worry because this is what it feels like to be in love. From a recording, I am receiving soothing and encompassing cadences.
I worry because with technology now more easy to access, we are able to gain so much more positive stimulation that we as individuals and as a species have needed.
But, what about real love, romance, and the pure sensate joy of physical manifesting?
While listening and watching, hearing, seeing, and emotionally feeling, no one is on the other side, sharing this with me.
There is no two-way connection – just messages over time and space conveyed.
I am not touching, tasting, nor smelling in this beyond-long-distance relationship.
When virtual reality becomes such that our neurons are just plugged into a system, what then?
As our bodies whither away from lack of conscious, purpose-driven inhabiting – to what end?
I want to be “wild and free” – “home grown” with the dream of life truly unfolding.
I guess this means that I ought to just lean into and appreciate “suffering?”
Is this what it means to “happy?”
