Being in love is often like going into deep water.

Truly, I am afraid of both!!!

Part 4 of the final track of Then She Reaches For The Gun's 2nd Album
released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-with-you.

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

VI. il poema del'assenza ( Let the ghosts sing )

Another take on a very old song, I have been trying to perfect for some time :)

The Sleigh Ride

Another snippet from Caligo Paean - beware of gifts when chasing gods : ) 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.



Caligo Paean (A gift, a choice)

I insist this song be played and sung out loud at my funeral :)

I will stop everything to sing this song when it comes on the radio!

Monsters in the Dark

what you get 9.25.25

A close friend and I had a long discussion about the Charnel Grounds. Since Samhain is just ahead, this felt overpowering and yet appropriate.

Listen if you dare...if you go there, beware of the hungry ghosts.

Charnel Grounds

After listening to a friends track...I did this :)

Turn Up the Sound

Love yourself. You are loveable. Shine your heart lights ✨✨💗✨✨

Dont be shallow...get out of the f.....g shallow.

Im up for collaborations with other artists. forget what you heard, I dont bite, I promise ;) Keep your intentions pure, and its all good baby!

Please, Read before you think about working with me...consider my words a contract.

If you are using my vocals, please use citations. Sometimes I work with other people's music, have some respect! If I find my name removed or the musicians name I will flag you!
You want to make music, then lets go...

 I go by Orieliel Watcher and sing about these three beings often..coincidence? Fascinating.....

Lorelei

A mix of mermaid, shape-shifter, and siren, the Rhine Maidens were water-dwelling creatures who lured sailors to their death on treacherous rocks. In Germany, the chief water sprite lent her name to the Loreley, an especially deadly boulder in the Rhine River en route to the North Sea.

So, seems to be miscommunications when it comes to making music with me. Rule number one--Dont Waste My Time. Rule Two The music we do together is both of our works; we both have equal rights. Rule Three Once we create a song you cannot take that away from me. I will share the song as it is treated as a contract between musician and singer. Rule Four Please, refer back to rule one. I love music--its not about money for me--but spreading joy through improvisational storytelling. So please--Keep your intentions pure if you want to work with me. Also, once I allow for a download, once you have downloaded it and have agreed to make a song you must produce that song or I will consider it a form of theft and misrepresentation. Sorry had to set some rules and boundaries, because some people are taking advantage of my generosity with regards to songs and lyrics I write.
