Wisdom of the Trees

Call from the heartland

A gentle flow, where sunlight gently's sown. from this unhurried stream, To find our rhythm, in life's passing theme. To yield and bend, and let the moments be, A gentle flow, towards eternity.

A Gentle Flow

Radiant

The evening sky, people rushing homeward,
The close of the day, a time of quiet.
Gently reflecting on today's events,
Footprints continue, steadfastly toward tomorrow.

daily life

more than enough energy

What?
What are you lookin’ at? 
Why you lookin’ at me like that?
Stop starin’, babe. I see you.
Oh, you staring again?

You got somethin’ to say?
Yeah… I thought so..

What do you want?
What? What do you need?
Don’t mumble
Spit it out, don’t freeze.
You actin’ tough now?
Talkin’ low now?
Say it louder make it count now!

What? What?
What was that?
Didn’t catch it
Speak up, back that chat.

If you really got somethin’ to say, then say so
You been starin’ like you got a damn halo
But you ain’t slick, nah, I see the show
So come on now, baby, just let it go

If you wanna say something, just say so
Wanna come for the queen? Better aim, bro
Still watching from the sideline? That’s lame though
If you got something to say, just say so, yeah
Just say so… yeah, just say so
Yeah, just say so, yeah

I hear the noise… but I don’t flinch
Your silence? That’s your loudest cringe
So next time you step in my glow
Bring words, not that fake-ass show
Yeah…

Say it louder, say it clear
Ain’t got time for petty fear
Say it loud, or let it go
If you got something to say, just say so..

Just say so… say it! Just say so…
Say it… just say so… yeah!
Just say so..

Just Say So

Visions of Darker Places

August 2025 Currently on residency in Italy !
These are the 2nd batch of 3 short sketches using field recordings captured around Montegiovi, Tuscany. With these little works I am experimenting freely with what can be produced from each days sounds - manipulating them and stitching them back together with the aim of producing a long format work at the end of the residency. I have done a dozen or so since arriving a fortnight ago but not sharing them all (some are pretty rubbish). The idea is to have them done by the end of the day (or night) then move on to something fresh the next day. 
I am truly thankful for this opportunity that has been provided for me by the Salamanca Arts Centre in Tasmania and Cultivate Projects/La Baldi residency in Italy and The USA.
And of course the wonderful people of Montegiovi !

Tuscany Experiments 4- 6

OP-7 Idref E

Ich erschaffe Klangwelten, Sehr dunkele Klangwelten Gedankenwelten so wie Ambient Welten. Habe mir alles selber beigebracht. Notenlesen Hab ich nie Gelernt. Lebe in meiner Gedankenwelt. Meine Klangwelt erstelle ich nur nach Gehör. Es Freud mich wenn ihr meine Klangwelt Hört.
