Drink Your Fears

Getting ready for the ski season, smack down in the middle of synthwave and some genuine '80s library synth-pop (not really, though - I haven't skied in decades.)

Here I am revisiting my very first synth - the Korg Wavestation. Most of the sounds come from a bank I've been putting together in the course of the past couple of days - probably my first real programming session with this synth since the '90s! 

Works great for this kind of stuff as well, even though it's best known for slowly evolving ambient pads, and probably those cheesy wave-sequencing percussion loops.

The Trail

My latest single, Rebirth, was inspired by the unexpected and welcome lessons that have emerged throughout the past 2 years since starting this solo music project.

It is about allowing myself to express my creativity in all its glory. Allowing myself to be seen for all that I feel I am on the inside.

Despite being a confident person, I had too often heard negative comments made about myself or others for being a little extra. I cannot tell you the amount of times I was called ‘weird’ ‘unit’ ‘freak’ ‘crazy’ etc. when I was younger and I wondered why the quirky, unique parts of me seemed to bring out such negative words from many people. 

We are also taught that being confident means you have a big ego or in Australia, basically you’re a ‘wanker’ or a ‘show off’ and that was a major barrier for me ever wanting to put myself out there.

So, I let my creative energy thrive in isolation, building a very solid relationship with myself, but dialled it down around others to be more palatable. That was the most boring thing I ever did.

These days, I say fuck that mentality. I’m taking more notice of who supports that expression and unapologetically moving on from people and places that don’t support that expression. It’s liberating beyond measure.

Social media has become a wonderful outlet for me to express the sides of myself that often go unseen in ‘real life’. For me, it has been a playground of self-expression. It has been a major part of my ‘rebirth’, as it’s allowed me to freely express the dimensions of myself that are far more aligned with who I am at the core, yet far less acceptable to express in most social and workplace settings. It brought SheisArjuna to life and gave me a space to express my music and the ‘me-ness’ that goes along with it. 

I am so very grateful for my online community who mirror back the love. 

Creativity forms the foundations for my home and my heart and it seeps into everything I adore in this life. It feels so good to honour that in this next level way. 

This a Rebirth 🖤

Rebirth

Written as a healing anthem for my mum as she battles cancer, I hope this song can be used by anyone who needs a reminder of the immense healing power they possess within themselves.
