last night was host to several firsts and “firsts in a long time”

felt awkward, at times – happens

wasn’t the only way i felt

and…

through it all, i was able to be present and show up authentically – as myself, for myself

feels incredibly empowering

goes to show – it’s possible to be awkward and continue moving through it*

*circumstances may vary, dry legs not guaranteed

p.s. no one has to give you permission to pursue what you want – it’s up to you

go for it

maxime. released their EP ‘Telephone Wires’ today – lovely surprise

feeling the impacts musically and from the embroidery cover art

me likey

a tidbit i want to remember about my buffering process, so far:

the tracks are diegetic – collected from the day, many from the environment

booming from someone’s garage, over the radio in the morning as the alarm goes off, at the store while running errands…

listening back – in the order in which they were collected – can be trippy

can’t say it will always be this way

just happy to have some sorta way at all

ok… bye bye!

listened to a series of mixtapes today


it went:


bittersweet

goofy

choker

selvedge

Dust Devil

Highway Gothic


finished listening to Dust Devil while looking through “waiting room” stuff where i was re-introduced to photos i picked up at the Depot, earlier this year

(side note: clips from ‘Twister’ would make a sweet music video for “Glory Lightning”)







all this accompanied remnants of a lucid dream from last night

in my dream i was having an intimate conversation with someone i once knew – or, my minds projection of them

the sequence of mixtapes today helped make space to process – dreams, revelations, and other intangibles

hindsight and what-not

listened to a bit of the buffering set from a few nights ago (minus “Paradise Engineering”) while getting Depot photos together

still super geeked over maxime.’s “mads mikkelsen”

and the cover art… !

“mads mikkelsen” - maxime. (2021/maxime.) cover art by needle.tip
