This is absolutely gorgeous.  So glad you shared it!  Wonderful to hear your voice again!!

I Am Afraid - 07 - Something Special - Rebecca Singing Karinya

After Savi is resurrected, he sings this song.  It is mainly a series of deep, spiritual questions that is more connected to the overall themes of the musical than specific plot points.

This song is the Finale of the show.

I Am Afraid - 15 - Whose Child Am I - Full Vocals

The final Day For Night track recorded...around 13 years ago now
Steve L and Cat (Mystified)

Deeper than Blue (Day For Night version)

Someone asked me if I had been making music. Well, not lately--but I had this track sitting on my hard drive from not too long ago. It's a work-in-progress, so maybe I'll return to it and do some more another time. 
But for now...enjoy.

Sea of Tranquility

Vocals and Lyrics by Robert Shaw

 which ever way the fringe blows
which ever way the corners touch
which ever way the buildings fall
keep it wide

which ever way the chains hang
which ever way the sharks turn
which ever way the mirror cracks
keep it wide

this is not a cello
this is not a cello
this is not a cello

keep it wide
keep it wide

Vocals and Lyrics by Particledots

Dedicated to my friend and collaborator Michael Marquesen who sadly passed away last October.

Me and Michael always threatened to make an eno-like album one day.  He sent me tons of material - vocals, instrumentals and various weird ambient recordings....I still have them

My promise is

'I'm going to make that Eno record one day with you....'

eno record (for Michael)

glass interlude

This popped up as a 'memory' for me on facebook this week.  Michael had sent me this little video of him trying to figure out how to work a cheap looper pedal

So - I made this - it reminded me of the old APOD days when it started to come together

God bless you Michael - I miss you

Delay Reversed (with michael 2)

This is VERY interesting.  

This is a song that was originally created in 2008 using a backing track that was supplied by Michael Marquesen (originally called 'I'm Uneasy') as the foundation.  I added some e-bow/frippertronic guitar and then turned it over to Mysti, along with the lyric idea of the constellation of Orion looking down on me when I was 11.  

She then layered an unbelievably heavenly set of vocals over the music.   

Then it just sat there and never got finished...

Until a few nights ago.  

Mysti rediscovered the original logic audio file on one of her old computers.  She re-sang the lead vocal, harmonizing with herself from 2008.  So we now have a song about looking back in to the past and the future, with Michael's fabulous backing track, and Mysti's time layered vocals

When i pulled it up and heard it again for the first time in years...it made me cry

Thank you Cat
Thank you Michael

Lyrics by particledots with refinements from mystified 

A different me. 
I look back at a different me from a long time ago. 
When I was 11 years old, I saw myself doing this 
I was watching over me as the constellation of Orion 
Spanned the sky on a crisp, clear October night. 
Scared of the silence, but safe and secure in this connection with my older self 
I knew that everything would be all right. 
A different me. 
Still scared of the silence. 
But without the security of the connection to my younger self. 
Wishing I was still 11. 
Lying in that bed at 3am, away from mom and dad with the pitch-black sky above me. 
Was it really me that was looking in through the window. 
Or was I just looking up at the shoulders of Orion?  
******************************************** 
Lyrics--Ideas: 
a different me...looking back 
a long time ago 
watching the night sky...the summer sky 
alone. 
the winter constellation, spanned sky 
It was orion looking at me 
looking at it 
the shoulders of orion, in the summer sky 
scared of the silence 
but safe and secure in this connection with my older self 
I knew that everything ...would be alright 
I knew....
In the summer sky, the constellation 
and the shoulders of Orion

A Different Me (Looking Back)

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

~J.R.R. Tolkien

Most of my music is inspired by time I spend out on the trails of the beautiful mountains near my home, and is a way of bringing that peace and meditation 'indoors.'

I also have done several arrangements of traditional hymns and folk songs, which are noted.
