Unapologetically raw, epic, cinematic didgeridoo that takes you on an emotional ride through the storms of life. This is my next step in weaving my passions for didgeridoo, orchestration, composing and infusing it with emotion. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did making it. 
Thanks for listening!

Thank you guys for another great year. This is just a little tune I made in my free time <3 Follow the buy link to get a free download via bandcamp :)

can't stop falling in love unless you go away 
86 drops down the gutter fade 
fill my lungs with your scent until they explode 
i will pretend i'm alone 

i lay down and take it til' the pain is dead and gone 
father says you'll shake it i can't help but feel he's wrong 

wake me up when it feels right 
all of the nights you spent alone 
wake me up when there's sunlight 
all of the nights we couldn't sleep 

only a friend 
only a smile 
you're wanted back in my heart now 
wake me up when it feels right 
all of the nights you couldn't sleep 

[Now I lay me down to sleep, 
I pray the Lord my soul to keep. 
If I should I die before I wake, 
I pray the Lord my soul to take] 

(wake me up when it feels right 
wake me up when there's sunlight) 

when you were in heaven i was in heaven 
you are the only thing that i love 
and now i'm forsaken you are forsaken 
everything i love breaks 

only a friend 
only a smile 
you're wanted back in my heart now 
wake me up when it feels right 
all of the nights you couldn't sleep 

i'll stop falling along the wayside 
when you stop coming home to my heart 
just wake me up when you can come home

Purple Rain

The sound of my new didgeridoo, Ze Monsta, made by Chad Butler!!  Backed up by some electronic sounds.  Basically, I created a few simple loops on the Korg Kaossilator Pro, found a setting for adding improv melody bits, and started recording.  This is what came out!  This track is now featured in Wess Lewis' YouTube series, "Transcendence." (Episode 33)  Check it out!

Ze Monsta! (Solo improv with loops)

microbrute + doepfer ms 404 vintage synthesizer

No_computer #1

sideshow cars and plastic stars,
a turgid affair,
illuminates the dwindling scars,
they point and stare,

I've been longing for a son like you,
I've been searching for a way out too,
and somebody - somebody's looking for you.


If I find some way out,
Then I will stay,
With heart split two ways down,
Like tears down my face,

We'll find our way out,
Without a map just our hearts,
And when we get out,
We'll topple your house of cards,

Koda - The Last Stand

Currently based in Port Angeles, Washington, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Pamela Mortensen has performed with didgeridoo as a solo artist for the past 16 years. Now she is taking a new direction by weaving this ancient instrument with synthesizer, piano and her rich voice to create music of ambient landscapes, lush harmonies and body-moving rhythms. Her compositions and recordings have garnered awards from Seattle Arts Commission, ASCAP and Yamaha Corporation.
