Floating
I’ve noticed recently that I’ve taken to floating.
It’s very much in the music I’ve been listening to, queuing up more swooping and atmospheric tracks that make me feel like I’m suspended in air, water, or a dream.
It’s in the sensory-depriving darkness of my HTHTS “recording studio” - a closet separating me from the daily stimuli and anxieties of my 400 sq ft live-workspace. Going back into this closet [an idiomatic fallacy and crime] both helps me feel a bit lighter in consciousness and better primed to experiment and make stuff.
And finally, it’s in my physical movement and whereabouts, relating back, I think, to the last HTFHTS episode all about thresholds. As I appreciate that less and less is static, while also clearly sensing that what lies ahead - and oh, status quo - is ominous, I permit myself to move about more fluidly.
It’s either this or drowning.
And so what? Routine is mutable! That long and winding road is subject to landslide! I am some type of adult, and I can float off just about whenever I please!
Do you feel what’s coming? This is the FLOATING issue!
For a listen to EP 4:Floating on Moon Glow Radio, check out this Mixcloud link.
Alternatively, here’s all the HTFHTS playlists archived in chronological order for your listening pleasure. (Though if you stick to this method alone, you’ll never hear how gracefully I react to the untimely ding of an email notification. Could be a bigger loss than you think!)
Now as a floating body, two things -
I currently am where I usually am not, spending time in another country on a working vacation. In the purest sense, this has been an amazing opportunity to aimlessly roam.
Secondly, while I’m feeling super transient, I also feel like breaking the rules. (These rules only exist in my head.) And this is all I feel like writing at the moment.
I’m going to let music do the heavy lifting/levitating this time around. So see ya!
