Summer 2023: I have a dream where I am looking out at the vastness of the ocean and notice something on the horizon. I don't remember if I am traveling on a boat or just floating over the water, but I go straight towards the mass. As I get closer, a forest of drowned trees begins to emerge. The ocean is deep here, it's like an extremely deep swamp or estuary. I immerse myself into the forest of limbs and begin to feel that the sticks are similar to gravestones; a graveyard. 

"I've seen you before" was written in reference to the dream, but before I found this picture in a family photo album. Not only does the picture almost perfectly mirror what I saw in my dream, but its qualities are outstanding in that it is red (no other picture in the piles of photos had this degraded hue) and the location is undefined (no writing or indication of where this boat is / the photos that were with it did not give any reference to it).

I've seen you before

I made the lines of latitude on the world map into staves and marked out all the places I hope to travel to, using those notes as the melody for this lil song. it just happened to sound this way

Southern Exposure present their first cassette tape Grandma Loves You by Naarm based musician Sicu. 

Sicu’s first official release after publishing sketches and voice memo recordings across years under a seemingly unending group of aliases. Grandma Loves You unveils itself slowly across 15 textured compositions. The music delicately builds through layers of instrumentation and moves into unconventional peaks, highlighting the important and decisive move from Sicu not to confine music to theory.

Recorded across 5 years, the body of work is vehicled by the piano at her family home in Mitcham. In this way, the album was formed through music reconnection, both by making without the pressure of expectation and through returning to play on her childhood piano. Here, along with the accordion and guitar, Sicu expresses a deep connection to her youth, surroundings and family, with a particular focus on her grandma. This debut has evolved into a dedication to her.

Across 44 minutes of wonky and undulating music, Sicu perfectly captures chaos as calm; each new pattern an apparition of an era or place that can be unique for both artist and listener. Entangling instrumentals that reveal artefacts and intricacies which ultimately reward attentive listening, while simultaneously offering space for the mind to wander freely.

some days I relate to the past in an awful way and others not so much

Jaime Sacchero @jasauphigh on the tenor saxophone



long since I felt you by my side
oh don't the days feel half as light as they once did
know that I found it hard hard to see
can't take the leaves back to the tree where we waited

oh when you drive back into town
don't wanna let me bring you down, you don't need it
I wont see your headlights flood the ground
not since the fire burnt half the town
you can't save it

oh if we'd met in another time
wonder what'd kept you up at night while you lay there?
all of my demons put to light
now I don't dream through half the night while you lay there

leave it
