The masterful #elproyectodedonjuan made most of “Let’s Do This Again Sometime" happen as we shared our creative soul around some tarot and found object inspiration.  Grateful to share this collaboration.

May this music carve a little self-care time into your daily routine.  
May it’s healing waters wash away your worries, gifting you permission to JUST BE with the moment.  
May its echoes carve space for healing every time you honour yourself with another play.  
May this ambience set your day soaring into the deeper moment.

Recalling the voice of fellow hiker, Chema: “siento buena energía aquí;”
I feel good energy here.”    

Let’s do this again sometime

Let's Do This Again Sometime

Music serenades my soul, translating poetry in waves of clarity.  

Collaborating with #El Proyecto de Don Juan on this track has been truly transformative.  Trusting in his genius, we experiment with some of my personal poetry, dating back fifteen years from conception!  

Sharing this raw recording makes me feel TRUTHFUL—VULNERABLE—ROUGH.

It’s first words (4:50 into the song) were inspired by my poem “Foolish Script”, written in 2003.  
Later in 2009, I translated this poetry into sonnet, to tune into its Shakespearean roots; can you name the plays the five plays I reference throughout?  
In 2016, #Lindsayfoote ran a songwriting workshop at #centaurisummerartscamp, where I merged my past with my present metamorphosis, finally finding its full poetic potential.  And even still, it was missing some of its music; hence trying out this hypnotic, almost electronic accompaniment.  With a crackling fireplace, field of traditional flutes, homemade instruments and Juan’s technical equipment, this full track is truly an experiment with translation.  

Thank you, Juan, for offering your production wizardry, and playing around with these old words.

Foolish Soliloquy

The opening of the full track: Foolish Soliloquy, in collaboration with #ElProyectodeDonJuan.  Simply a crackling fireplace and airy flute to add oxygen to this meditative stoke

Foolish Soliloquy Part 1 (Fire & Air)

We found our duet on Chesterman's Beach, Tofino British Columbia. Both offering a handful of poetic words and mad tarpin' skills, we built a healing home in the sand to advocate for the healing wisdom of Mother N. 

Estelle Honeywell and Gnomadic Rootz found friendship in the heart of Vancouver Island during an intensive outdoor guiding and leadership program exploring water and land-based pursuits. Toughing wild winds in a sea of hegemonic masculinity, they looked to the nurturing landscape of Strathcona Park and each other to unearth their voice and strength together- the smooth and rough- to express their need for communication and self-care.

About the incredible @El Proyecto de Don Juan our... 
Musician, Sound Engineer, Star-Gazer 

Juan EnChinga’s family originates from beneath Sierra del Laurel in Mexico; their voices climbing its 2760 metres, his ancestors of the Bajio gathered with flutes in spiritual ceremony to heal humanity through sound therapy and plant based wellness. 1000 years later, Juan continues to celebrate the forgotten sounds of this land, Mother Earth, listen to her wisdom, and inspire others to look up at the sky. 

His father fostered his early love of music, and he continued to pursue a life dedicated to music in Aguascalientes before moving to Canada to hear from every culture in the world. Now he travels from the east to the west, collaborating and encouraging other artists to explore their passions and find their unique voice. 

Juan listens to the wind and forgotten instruments to reconnect its resonance with its mother tongue. He creates unique audio experiences, experimenting with ancient flutes that transcend typically recognized frequencies, on a mission to restore its symphony of ancient sounds with the world. 

Juan is also gifted with his hands, and enjoys crafting jewellery and satisfying hunger through the culinary arts.
