Baleen

Feel the rush of Speedlight—a dazzling future house track from Artemis & the Nymphs (Isle of Myth).
Blazing synths, deep bass, and soaring vocals capture the thrill of racing through neon skies. Turn it up and let the light take you.

Light Speed

Lyrics :
Sweaty dreams of skin and leather,
Noir desire of your vampire smile,
Like a dagger, enter my soul deeper.
I surrender to your demonic style

Intoxicated in your pheromone cloud
I’m enthralled by your phallic beauty.
My hot tropical rain forest floods,
Lush lianas drip from my wild canopy.

Chorus :
Your phallic seduction gently pulls me in.
Sweat and desire swirl in a purple haze.
Your fingers read my tattooed sweaty skin.
With pirate feet, I dance under your gaze.

My harden nipples tell esoteric stories,
Sensual promises made in the dark.
I fap and splash for abstract beauties
That burn with your devilish spark.

Your silky dark hair slips between my thighs.
You grab my ankles and spread my legs wide
The moonlight dances on your vampire smile,
In my burning body I feel the rising tide.

Chorus :
Your phallic seduction gently pulls me in.
Sweat and desire swirl in a purple haze.
Your fingers read my tattooed sweaty skin.
With pirate feet, I dance under your gaze.

The scent of our bodies floats in the breeze.
Your serpent tongue slips between my thighs,

Lost in the rhythm, we move with such ease.
Defeated and pleased, I believe all your lies.

This sweaty summer night is worth the while.
Your devilish touch and your emerald eyes
trigger my desire of your vampire smile.
With a demon like you, I’ve found paradise.

Vampire Smile

Reworked this one from the ground up, new key, new tempo, added bits, etc. Much of my youth was spent in forests; by chance, everywhere we lived was adjacent to woods, and that is where I played.  A magical experience.  After finding this striking image, I wrote through the eyes of a little girl rather than in first person:

She was in the forest fair
Taking in the colors there
Kingfishers in the trees
Sun-kissed golden leaves

She danced on a ledge
Standing at the water's edge
Watching minnows in the silver stream
Tailfins fluttering
Floating in a pool of dreams

She was a fairy child
Running free and wild
She hummed a little song
Echoing the woodland throng

She climbed up a hill
Following a whirpoorwill
Enchanted by the sound
The magical sound
She looked all around
Beauty there unbound

She was in the forest fair
Her mind racing everywhere
She felt so very very high
Felt she could touch the sky
The shimmering sky
Shimmering sky

Latin Quarter Suites No.2

Where Shadows Cried is an introspective reflection told through the eyes of someone who grappled with depression and inner turmoil. Seen from the perspective of a mind submerged in darkness, the track blends atmospheric textures and emotional resonance to evoke the silent struggle fought beneath the surface, echoing the weight of isolation. It stands as a tribute to those who’ve been to that inner place-where shadows cry.

If you enjoyed listening, please like and repost, which would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


Where Shadows Cried

It is a great honor to introduce this special musical project set to the powerful and beautiful poetry of the extraordinary Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. This work was made possible with the kind permission of the Gabriela Mistral Foundation.
I want to give special thanks to the remarkable soprano Maribel Villarroel, whose stunning voice gave life and soul to each piece. Her deeply personal interpretation and awe-inspiring vocals brought authenticity and passion to this music. I am equally grateful to the brilliant pianist and arranger René Calderón, whose sensitivity and artistry are infused into every note. Their talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit have taken this project to levels I could only dream of as a composer.
Gabriela Mistral’s poems speak to the heart with timeless emotion, strength, and depth. Creating music for her words was both a challenge and a privilege, an emotional journey that led us to deep connections with her legacy and message.
The visual side of this release is also something I’m excited to share. The album cover was created by the outstanding Chilean artist Giovanni Gellona, whose artwork beautifully reflects the emotion and atmosphere of the music and Mistral’s poetry, and projects both her dignity and lovingness.
This album is not just a musical interpretation; it is a tribute to Chilean culture, poetry, and artistic collaboration. I hope listeners around the world can feel the love, effort, and respect behind every note.
I invite you to experience Gabriela Mistral’s poetry through this musical lens and share it with others who might be moved by it. 
With gratitude,
Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka

La Medianoche
(Letra del poema “La Medianoche” de Gabriela Mistral)

Fina, la medianoche.
Oigo los nudos del rosal:
la savia empuja subiendo a la rosa.

Oigo
las rayas quemadas del tigre
Real: no le dejan dormir.

Oigo
la estrofa de uno
y le crece en la noche 
como la duna.

Y después nada oigo
sino que voy cayendo 
en los muros de Arlés
llenos de sol…

La Medianoche

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.
