Submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #6 hosted by emscottish for Itch.IO February 2025

combining works of (Faridoddin Abu Hamed Mohammad Attar Nishapuri) Sufi poet aka Attar ('apothecary') of Nishapur c.1145-1121 AD
and Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns 1759-1796 AD

lyrics:

The sea will be the sea,
No matter the drop's philosophy.
(Attar of Nishapur)

We are busy with the luxury of things
Their number and multiple faces bring
To us confusion we call knowledge Say:
God created the world, pinned night to day
Made mountains to weigh it down 
seas To wash its face 
living creatures with pleas
The ancestors of prayers seeking a place
In this mystery that floats in endless space.
(Attar of Nishapur)


Talk not of love, it gives me pain,
For love has been my foe;
He bound me in an iron chain,
And plunged me deep in woe.  
(Robert Burns)

From each, Love demands a mystic silence.
What do all seek so earnestly? 
Place not so firm a value on self-reliance,
Love’s tide erodes what we grasp so thirstily.
Love is the subject of their inmost thoughts,
In Love no longer 'Thou' and 'I' exist,
No musing upon what effort brought, (me)
For self has passed away in the Beloved.
A form which vanishes into mist.
Now will I draw aside the veil from Love,
And in the temple of mine inmost soul
Gaze on the void’s eternal bowl.
Behold the Friend, Incomparable Love.
He who would know the secret of both worlds
And has the opaque pall unfurled, (me)
Will find that the secret of them both is Love.
(Attar of Nishapur)

Cold, alter'd friendship's cruel part,
Open wounds stung by brine, Love. (me)
To poison Fortune's ruthless dart
Let me not break thy faithful heart,
And say that fate is mine, Love. 
(Robert Burns)

I make music sometimes 👉😩👈

YouTube  🤡👉https://youtube.com/@nottypoo?si=MlpoC3O7FlS3H-Ee

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.

Don't wanna be famous ... just wanna get heard!

FROM THE OCEAN TO THE SEA 🐟
[the greatest coming out from atl]
the 2nd greatest to do it besides lil b (i make beats) p.s lil b saved my lyfe #basedworld !!! #dm !!$ #ok !!

At age thirteen I discovered my love for music and wrote my ﬁrst two songs, “Hair” and “Beauty Queen.” Being a girly-girl, I wrote happy pop songs about pretty things but eventually dove into exploring different styles of music. I even got a karaoke machine to practice singing. I was discovering all types of music but my heart belonged to pop. I was sixteen with a dream of music and fame.
Some years later, I got into a studio to learn about recording and production. I worked with a guy named Milton in the Bronx, NY. He taught me almost everything I know. At our first session he had me write and arrange a song in 30 minutes. We recorded it the same night. He couldn’t believe I had never recorded before. Since then I have worked with several other producers, which was a great way to get different input to shape my unique style.
My drive to make music and eventually get signed, led to the completion of my first EP, Genesis, which debuted September 16 ‘08. I wrote and co-produced all of the songs and even feature my Japanese language skills in a track called “Ride it (Sore ni Notte).” Genesis spawned four singles and three music videos. My music and videos have been featured on various Radio, internet and television outlets including: Blogtalk Radio, UCLA Radio, KTU.com, Z100.com, Toronto TV and WPIX morning news.
I am heavily influenced by: Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Pink, Cyndi Lauper,Kylie Minogue, and Robyn. My style of music is a blend of pop and electro dance beats. I love unique sounding and catchy rhythms.
I released my second EP, “Femme Fatale,” in late 2010. My video for my second single, “Shadow Dancer,” was one of the 1st 3D Music Videos. My third EP, “Model behavior was released 2014 and my most recent work, "Holograms" in 2019. I have performed at venues such as: NJ Bears Stadium, Pianos, The Bitter End, Tokyo Japan, Rainbow Bar, Poisson Rouge and the NYC Marathon. I have also been nominated  for best pop female  in the 2016 LDM Music awards.  Besides my music, I keep busy by writing for other artists, licensing, dancing, acting and modeling. I have also been involved in charity works especially helping children with foundations such as Songs of Love and Tunes for Tots. I am constantly evolving and discovering the world through music and want to share the experience.

Music has the power to transport us to another time and place. The All Canadian Soundclash loves to harness that power with a broad audience of fellow music lovers and passionate musicians alike. Ever since a young age, Andrew Michelin has found great joy and satisfaction by being involved in the creative music process.
