  • New Song, New(ish) YouTube

    Hello,

    I started a YouTube channel for my own music! Well, I linked the account I’ve had for ages to my DistroKid. If you can see all my goofy comments since 2013 I’m begging you to inform me.

    There’s only one video up right now but there are some tracks to listen to!
    Video: Basho (ukulele)

    The song was inspired by the stone turtles that act as a bridge in the Kamo River. Also inspired by Basho’s haiku, “Even in Kyoto / Hearing the cuckoo’s cry / I long for Kyoto”

    Lyrics:
    Hop across
    Nothing lost
    Shimmer light
    Golden gloss

    In the summer
    by the riverside
    In the picture
    you’re the only eye

    I’m home, I want to go home
    I’m home, I want to go home

  • Overlaps – what I’m making lately

    Ever since I bought rubber stamps, I’ve been making more of these “overlap” things. They mimic the repetition of stamps with the imperfection of handwriting. I don’t know if they’re poems or a disjointed journaling technique, but I’m working with them to express how words appear in my mind as I say them. It might be the most accurate style of stream-of-consciousness writing for me. Typing it out makes it sound like I’m screaming in my head at all times, which is not the case. Promise.
