I am so excited to share this piece. I have been working on it for the last few months...which is a long time for me these days. Most of my work is on a quick turnaround. I worked with the brilliant musician Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, who coached me through a completely new composing process. The album art is by Colleen Klock, based on a photo by Becca Webb which you can also see below.

The piece is made with layers of my voice and modular synth.

Lyrics:

I am writing a little thought, a known struggle.
A scattered wholistic plan.
Making things feel passive, in line and boring.
A flash of someone wanting progress. What would they think?
Choices know community, the right things feel moving.
So, maybe the choreographer’s best routine is restarting who I am.
Lyrics compare talking, trying and feeling.
I’m not there yet, the thing is so long.
It fits to do myself.
