Lullabies of the Pleiades

The Wild Forest Reigns

field notes excerpt 2. journey to earth

All composition is ethnomusicology, if you’re lucky.

While I cannot vouch for my own luck, and I cannot be certain I have transcribed these Pleiadian lullabies with sufficient accuracy — such that the Pleiadians themselves could still feel their full import — I have tried my best for now. I have sensed that the piano, as an instrument, is unfamiliar to them, but in the end is serviceable for the purposes of transcription.

Gathering the songs began with a process of sitting in stillness, the better by which to detect currents in the air. Then, like sifting particles of sand lifted by wind, I could listen for patterns, the frequencies scattered and embedded in shared consciousness, the imprint of grooves left from countless repetitions of the same gestures of care, given and then continuously passed along. an ancient and timeless wisdom. The endless circulation of blood through the body is an apt metaphor for the rejuvenating effect of songs repeated and echoed across time.

Meeting of the Comets

field notes excerpt 1. origins

The Pleiadians became aware, early on, of their role as beacon and source of wonder. That anyone who saw their bouquet of stars, no matter how distant, would thereafter look to them in search for answers. That they would be listened to — and so what they say should not lead the rest of us astray.

Swift was their realization that music was the ideal language to communicate wishes, context, and emotion. and so naturally the songs they played for each other carried the same glowing power when broadcast outward, for anyone who didn’t understand their spoken languages.

The lullaby is complete.

A self-contained intention.

(A gift and a blessing.)

the deep care of a lullaby is transmitted across time, across distances even so vast as when years are needed for light to bridge the gap.

“I’ll sing to you, so that you might find peace more easily.”

~ fig. A, the undersea carousel from the lullabies of the pleiades collection

The Undersea Carousel

a lullaby about a child of the Pleiades
traveling home through hills and frozen lakes —
⠀
usually the journey is calm but
on this foggy night
the snow seems especially mischievous

Home by Snowlight

here begins the story of our mariner 🛶⠀
exploring a vast, endless ocean⠀
filled with curious creatures⠀
⠀
under the light of three overlapping moons 🌔 ☾ 🌑⠀
there is a certain dance⠀
(learned by all children)⠀
that when danced⠀
navigates the wanderer towards home⠀
⠀
how to recall a dance from distant childhood?⠀
⠀
singing the first notes of this lullaby 🎶⠀
welcomes, somehow, the summoning of movement⠀
allowing the body all by itself⠀
to channel memories kept safe⠀
and bring ancient wonders to life

J.S. Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Klavier: Book 1, BWV 846-869: Prelude in C major BWV 846

Claire, I think I’ve mastered time. If you want something to go by quickly, just snap your fingers. Now if you want something to go by slowly that’s harder, but it can be done too. I’m doing it right now. The evening is so pleasant here in Sedona, when the desert cools, and you just see the silhouettes of the saguaros. We all hold a pose sometimes. This specific dusk, I think it can last forever, if I allow it. By the time you read this, I’ll still be here.
