A boolean yes and no and true and false and good and bad and old and new and conservative or progressive or black or white and this or that or... hateful or compassionate. If and or not then else. Blight wack blackened wight. Life & death. Up and down and sideways. It's all a fuss some damn reason.
Sequential Iteration No. 9 - "White and Black"
Let's be the realest of real. Life is not black, life is not white. There are things that are black and white and red all over... things like this that have the power to spin the world, do they provide color or do they divide us into a binary solution?
No stars to chart, no guiding path,
None
Hums persists - an aimless math,
Sing if thou wilt - thy trembling sounds
For what is this but love unbound
Held down and losing steam
Yet echoing a futile dream
You step - you wane - you come - you flee,
Yet Violence - wears a face - like me
ASPIRATE - Behind the Lyrics
*Spirit, Release*
Continuing to prime for ASPIRATE release on May 30, I wanted to also share a few 'deep dives' into the meaning behind some of these tracks. First up is the 1st track on the album, Spirit, Release.

๐๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ช๐ญ ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ is perfect for those moments of calm reflection. Those moments where the clarity comes and you realize... Today is the day for civil disobedience. Relaxed, yet with vigor, purpose and zealousness... Go out and make indulgently good trouble with some Tranquil Remonstrance!
My goals for today!... and the days to come!
Goals #antifa
Goals!
Goals!
Thanks for the help making goals, #finch! #fuckfascists, #antifa

Coming - TONIGHT - "The Little Drummer Bot"!
Totally agree! I'll use the Dremel in a pinch but it doesn't have the right tactile experience i think! I'll even find myself spending the most time using a crazy needle file to get to the detail I want. But sometimes it's more about the whittling away with a knife and keep it loose & abstract!
My Christmas Carvings - Part 1!
Here are a few examples of things I give to nieces and nephews and such. This stuff keeps me busy this time of year, which is in direct conflict with making music yet somehow I am balancing! Well... the part where I buy at least a few gifts isn't going so well.
I have some sentimental feelings toward this one too! Maybe not quite as intense as Breath of Heaven, but definitely very meaningful for me!
A Very Sarenrae Robotic Christmas continues with "Mary, Did You Know"!
It's another classic robotic Christmas cover by Voxie Sarenrae - go find it on one of the available audio streaming places.
He meant well
Ah well in that regard I actually have about 12 going and have been working on them for months! โบ๏ธ
Good evening - this is just a reminder that Christmas Eve is only just over two weeks away... Yikes! I have yet to purchase a single gift at this point!

Happy Friday, all! Thanks to very generous feedback about my "Flaming Hearts" painting and support on my other efforts too!
Multiple requests for prints of this painting have come up, I'll have to do a bit of work to get the website going again - but I think I'll do it. More info soon!
Flaming hearts in the darkness of despair may guide your path through this bleak, dark existence. Set your heart ablaze!
