This album is a raw, journey through themes of loss, the grip of addiction, and the heavy weight of regret, juxtaposed with the fragile emergence of dreams, the courage to face fears, and the ultimate acceptance of pain as a path to healing. 

My Broken Melody

Echoes of What Used To Be

This piece is based on my poem “Angst vor der eigenen Größe” (Fear of My Own Greatness).

It speaks to the quiet power within us — the weight of words, the presence of a voice, the courage to take up space without apology.

Not arrogant. Not too much.
Simply real, vulnerable, and true.

Through Samuel Cusson (MrNightQc) and his musical vision, my voice found another dimension — a soundscape for silence, strength, and becoming.

The poem reminds me (and maybe you, too):
We don’t have to prove anything.
We can simply be.
And even in stillness, our greatness does not disappear.

This recipe is an invitation to be, and to be with nature. Made possible through the experiment of raking and embodied listening, this recipe for “Feeling into Healing,” is composed of fieldnotes and soundscapes interwoven through the genius of sound designer Rascal Miles. It unfolds as a dialogue between body and environment. Each gesture—breathing, noticing, listening, feeling—becomes method and meditation.

Not a dish but a cultivated atmosphere: an alchemy of presence where internal satisfaction and rupture meet. As part of Erotic Rupture, it extends a practice of intimacy with the more-than-human, holding space for awareness to emerge through relation.

Feeling into Healing: A Recipe {Erotic Rupture Series}

A haunting ballad that opens the album with Sofia’s voice bare, unshielded, confronting her own reflection.

The lyrics capture the feeling of being exposed — every crack, every broken piece of love visible for the world to see. It’s a song of vulnerability, loss, and the painful honesty of living in the aftermath of love gone wrong.

I am KAT – poet, musician, and catalyst.
I work in the space between silence and voice, between quiet intimacy and bold confrontation.
My art speaks when words must whisper — and shouts when the truth demands to be loud.
I know what I want, and I stand for it — with depth, with courage, without apology.
My message challenges, moves, and touches — not to provoke, but to awaken.
I do not step forward hesitantly, but decisively — ready to be heard.

Explore my debut project Vienna Skies and Heavenly Cries and other recent works in collaboration with AXAXC — a journey through voice, sound, and poetic space.

I never meant to write an album.
I meant to survive.

“The Songs I Never Said” is a collection of everything I kept buried—truths I swallowed, pain I made quiet, love I gave too freely, and the things I should’ve screamed but didn’t. Every track is a piece of the aftermath: the ghosts, the damage, the healing.

These aren’t just songs. They’re confessions.
They’re the words I wrote when no one was listening,
and the feelings I couldn’t say out loud until now.

If you’ve ever loved the wrong person too hard, lost yourself trying to be enough, or sat in the dark wondering what the hell just happened—this is for you.
Because sometimes, silence is just the start of the story.

—Melissa Schultz
Writer of the songs I never said.

Great art almost feels like magic—it opens our minds to brand new ideas, and teaches us to see ourselves and our world more clearly. Of course, behind all great art, there are artists. And that’s where the real magic happens…

As we go beneath the art itself to explore how different artists do what they do, we see glimpses of the sorts of creativity, resilience, and bravery that lead to the art that moves our world. And maybe we can learn to borrow some of that magic for our very own thinking.

Join professional musician Emily Merrell for conversations with artists of all kinds. Together, we examine the mysteries of our own experiences, our muses and fears, our gifts and foibles, our beliefs about the origins of creativity, and the secret magic we’ve discovered in our unique creative processes. 

Mediums include: studio art, graphic design, dance, cooking, illustration, creative writing, storytelling, comedy, music composition, music performance, film making, acting, production, fashion design, photography, and more.
