Wow this is super cool. I'm consistently impressed by your diversity. I really like this a lot. Is that a banjo, or something else entirely? Whatever it is, coupled with the slow moving notes, it's very cool.

An atmospheric piece. Love the strings on this, the lead in particular.

Fine and delicate song.  Love the asian touch.

You say you made a friend.
When you slit his throat he respected you.
It feels dishonest to pretend
when everyone is out to get you!

You're just doing what needs to be done
to survive another merciless round.
They'll find a way to take your toys 
if you don't beat them down
before they even know you exist.

What can I do? You go be you—
I'll go be the opposite of you.
Dip your hands first
and then clutch your purse.
Make sure you never end up like me
on your Fear-Hate TV.

I fear you misunderstand
the nature of our day in the sun.
You talk of wolves and sheep 
and the free and the brave
who fixed it all with a gun.

But all I see are wonders
where your miracles refuse to appear.
And when you're done deciding I'm weak,
I will drown you out and then kick you
back over to fear.

What can I do? You go be you—
I'll go be the opposite of you.
Just hit reverse and then floor your hearse.
Enjoy your next life of blaming me
for your own misery.

Traditions die. Your idols cry. They sing:
Whatcha gonna do about it?
The righteous fall. The smart control. They sing:
Whatcha gonna do about it?

What can you do? You're only you.
Wronged and denied, robbed of every joy!
Those saints you called
know it's not your fault,
it's just a sacrilegious ploy.

Opinions lie. Your minions sigh. They sing:
Whatcha gonna do about it?
The zealous fall. The selfless roll.  They sing:
Whatcha gonna do about it...

Opposite of You

I am alive — I guess —
The Branches on my Hand
Are full of Morning Glory —
And at my finger's end —

The Carmine — tingles warm —
And if I hold a Glass
Across my Mouth — it blurs it —
Physician's — proof of Breath —

I am alive — because
I am not in a Room —
The Parlor — Commonly — it is —
So Visitors may come —

And lean — and view it sidewise —
And add "How cold — it grew" —
And "Was it conscious — when it stepped
In Immortality?"

I am alive — because
I do not own a House —
Entitled to myself — precise —
And fitting no one else —

And marked my Girlhood's name —
So Visitors may know
Which Door is mine — and not mistake —
And try another Key —

How good — to be alive!
How infinite — to be
Alive — two-fold — The Birth I had —
And this — besides, in — Thee!

I am alive - I guess

I am alive I guess

I Am Alive I Guess

“I don't remember my dreams too much. I hardly have ever gotten ideas from nighttime dreams. But I love daydreaming and dream logic and the way dreams go” - David Lynch
​
I love to express stories through music and explore the visceral space that surrounds them. Sometimes I’m interested in creating sound collages, or tapestries of sound that are varied in their nature but unified in their aesthetic aim. Other times I surrender to something lyrical. Most of the time, I feel compelled to make sense of the world, which is impossible. But, after some work, which includes frustration, and occasional eureka moments, I find deep meaning and satisfaction in my music, especially as I near the finish line and embark on a collaborative journey with fellow creatives.
