The ground shifted beneath her feet. Could she move them as well? It had been hard to get the others to hear her out initially. She felt instead, release. Some of us had to get free, and some of us might. This liberation feels like a crush. My heart is hurting. She thought, I’d want it more than anything. She thought. She played out the serenity there before, sun drawn to her skin, like a magnet, like a knowing, like an old friend. The salty preserve on her brow. Running, running across her mind. Clean like a mine. She could taste that serenity. Her blood sugar dropped. It aches to know. And yet, there was a pleasure to the Stepping through it. The liberation feeling the ground crunch. My heart is racing. She thought, I’d want it more than anything. She thought. Somewhere, perhaps right at that moment. Or even right at that space, someone was and had been. Right there with her. Like a knowing, like an old friend. The wild was a serenity, clean like a mine. And when she could no longer sense. If the others would keep pace. She found her own, and there was a pleasure in stepping through it. Some of us might get free.

Sunken voices call from the depths. To remind that, they were unafraid. They say, go awash in that sea. Into the current of your own heart’s desire. Relish in those waves. We stand only to gain connection. Floating inwards unafraid. Healing is wrought. Metamorphosis entails dissolution and liquefaction. Just as you will become liquid, like a knowing. Exactly what are the pieces. Into which you must fall apart. Unafraid, we bear the axe of our harshest critiques. We excavate the wild one. We account for our sins. We repair what is damaged. In many tiny ways. Just as tiny as the many cuts that burn as anything is cleaned. Tiny cuts among deep grooves. We find each small memory. And each new one. It will be very many tiny things. And infinite microscopic synapses. Inside and around. For listening ears only to hear, away from what is shouted. A pattern in the music. And then it will be time. Then loose the stability of Their premises. Of what should be loveable. And into terra incognita, to feel in kilojoules. As the smallest glint. Or the feeling in a fullest body of worth. We will find our own land.

The party arrived at a clearing. The sun strode through the canopy, bit by bit until all at once. She was warmed by the entire sun. She turned to see who had kept pace. But now found souls dancing all around, and can see that they had been following all along. And so had she. And feeling surrounded, if not necessarily having arrived. She could only feel grateful. Thank you for listening x4

about

“Some of us had to get free, and some of us might.”
On my debut album Get Free, I sonically explore the idea of personal freedom using techno landscapes, and visually inspired by Detroit's The New Dance show. Get Free explores what it is to actively dismantle imagined limitations, to eradicate the bondage of self doubt, to forge ahead with love and light, to liberate the body and mind. It puts the process of self discovery and owning of ones’ entire self to the forefront, with a soundtrack that relentlessly pulses and moves with intention. “Relish in those waves, we stand only to gain connection.” Once the vision is actualized, we gain connection, and ultimately we get free.
