Changing Up the Vibe...

Yes. Starting 2023 in a recording studio, recording our own original songs, which we wrote over the last few years and performing them with 8 fabulously-talented musicians (see previous 6 posts) was a stirring, exciting, totally consuming way to change up the vibe and energy of our lives.

Of course, recording is just one phase of the project. There is much more to do: mixing, mastering, creating the album art, releasing a record into the biosphere. But, yesterday, we just laid-low, chilled-out, let the smoke of all that concentrated, furious activity kind of waft away. I spent the whole day at home. We had a wonderful home-cooked vegetarian, pasta meal. I meditated, listened to records (Alice Coltrane, Bob Dylan, Tinariwen, Sigur Ros), and we watched Noah Baumbach's movie, "White Noise." (2022). Yes, it's a weird, quirky, black-comedy, about death and the fear of death. We totally loved it. Funny, thought-provoking, and sort screw-ball ridiculous too. It was great to sink into ourselves and submerge into other folks creative visions. Refreshing. Renewing. Feeding the head, the heart, the soul.
