This time I get naked like never before ... it's a three-track environmental recording (recorded on the phone) in late January last year. my Mother, my Father and I during a dialogue, in our local dialect. With the television on, and some recorded noises ... (of a breathing exercise device that my father used in those days following a cadiac surgery he had undergone.) I was there to monitor his condition and to provide support ... (it was a delicate moment, for him as for us.) For many of you this publication may mean nothing, but for me it means a lot .. It means for me as an attempt to fix something in time (which erases everything. .) But those days I want them to remain etched in my memory and this is probably an unconscious attempt to fix them in time .. Several times I have listened to this kind of song .. In the silence and solitude of my current apartment. In an attempt to further elaborate this sound material. And I had the feeling that I didn't feel alone. But for now, it seems perfect that way. And I decided to share it with you. Maybe over time there will be further developments ... but waiting to be mature to grasp them, I would like to thank you for listening. These are my parents, my ancestors, from whom I am descended and whom I want to honor in this way. thank you.

Trenise Ferreira is a Jamaican-American writer who has been telling stories her entire career: as a college football journalist, a publicist at Walt Disney World Resort, and currently as a corporate communications professional and children’s book author.

When Trenise was in third grade, her teacher said that she should write books when she grew up – and Mrs. Buckner got it right! Wonder and imagination are at the heart of Trenise’s stories, creating worlds where children can get lost between the pages, laugh, and learn along the way.

An active member of the SCBWI Los Angeles chapter, Trenise is also a graduate of the Children’s Book Academy and The Voice Roadmap writing programs. She was selected as an inaugural mentee for the 2022 Picture Book Rising Stars program and is currently a 2023 We Need Diverse Books mentee.

The Better Part of Summer

The Better Part of Summer (NaviarHaiku498)

This is based on a chord progression/melody I came up a few months ago. Added a few arpeggios and field recordings, and pushed everything through some nice moog-style ladder filters and saturation plugins.*

The footsteps you hear are taken from a field recording of me walking through Finnish snow :)

What a great song this is. I tried my best to do it justice. Daniel Johnstone handing this song out free on cassettes in 1983 Texas. What a guy!

To my surprise I discovered. that the part A resembles Led Zeppelins's "Whole Lotta Love" :)

Climate Climber

Adaptation of the Russian traditional "Stenka Rasin" (a.k.a. "Volga Volga"), a folk song from the Volga ("Wolga") area about the Russian 17th century Wolga-pirate (with Robin Hood-like properties) Stenka ("Stepan", or "Stefan") Rasin. The introduction and middle part are my own.
Performed and adapted by many artists, from Ivan Rebroff to James Last and Boney M to André Rieu.

I'm a composer, working from a 3' x 5' studio (some may call it a dinette) in a 5th wheel camper, while traveling the United States. I've been on the road for six years, so most of my recent work will have come from a different state (of mind and location) during my travels.

Music makes me feel better about everything. I don't know that I'm ever happier than when I am creating. I sometimes wonder if creativity isn't one of the primary keys to happiness. Do you ever feel better than when you say, "Look what I did."? This phrase magically conjures the purest sense of childlike joy.

Music works for every part of our lives. We all have music for when we are sad, happy, celebrating, meeting others, when we are alone, and even when we are lonely. Did a song come to mind as you read each of those situations? I remember the first song I ever heard on the radio, on my first bus ride to kindergarten. One of my favorite musical memories is playing in a band for steel beach on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.

I love telling stories with music. Everybody loves John Coffey in the Green Mile, but Mr. Jingles should have a song commemorating his reaching and joining the circus at Mouseville. If you agree, join me for this and similar journeys. The music here is synthetic, but as real as you would choose to have it.

My music most often lands on Soundcloud first and is inspired by one of my favorite communities, Naviar Haiku:

I find writing to a Haiku prompt sufficiently limiting and exquisitely inspiring.
