head on (?) full of salt to sit here right now is getting boring get out and ride to the beach feel soft sandy heat and the wind how the colors milk your eyes split-screen vision, split-screen vision eggshells on the windshield blue on the horizon you are where you need to be you feel everything just let it be now let it be now let it be now let it be now let it be now let it be now let it be

yellow haze in the sky tells us join to fear, sorrow happy to be alive, alive, alive number 2 pencils are sharpened in the corner of the room rollerblading told me i can fly lucid dreaming it is possible try it try it, try it, try it, try it try, try, try it

it brings me joy* to be so casually cruel it brings me joy* to make a fool of you watched your agony smile knowing that you hate yourself knowing that you hate yourself knowing that you hate hate hate hate hate hate hate yourself

tap my feet to feel something that I never think about an empty home in the winter bare feet on a hard floor sounding like summer sounding like a wet bathing suit a belly flop what I wouldn’t give for a silly belly flop i jumped the high dive that other time i would do it tell me i would do it I would do it, come on would you do it too i would do it less perfect this time less perfect, i don’t care, i don’t care, i don't care, i don't care i would do it less perfect, i would do it less perfect i don’t care, i dont care, i dont care, i dont care i will do it less perfect this time you once told me that the penthouse apartment over there across from the construction site with the crane going every night/day there was a rich man no one came to his housewarming party and guess he started a fire on the roof fire on the roof, the roof's on the fire the roof, the roof, the roof's on fire the roof, the roof, the roof's on fire the roof, the roof, the roof's on fire

about

compilation #2 of fully improvised voice mem0z from 2020-2022

inspired by julia cameron's "the artist's way," i started recording myself improvising regularly in jan 2020 (my musical version of "morning pages"), the same month that i 'became' oropendola. it was a form of meditation .. and emotional & spiritual catharsis- a place of meeting myself exactly where i was, and just observing - not controlling, editing, or crafting - what would unfold. how exhilarating to allow the full spectrum to emerge, not just the parts that I deem to be "song-worthy."

I consider unfiltered improvisation to be the most rewarding creative (and personal) tool.. u should try it too <3
