I'm a musician using #cassette tapes and mostly portable instruments (#opz #op1 #zoia etc.) to write hopeful soundscapes — from #ambient to #postrock. My #onepersonband is called "The Fishermen & the Priestess".

Preferred #pronouns are they/he. I'm a #queer #immigrant of #Latin origin.

Thank you for listening to more of my music and the bandcamp follow as well! For the story behind the name... my family's dog is named Sora Rae. She's an awesome 8 year old beagle that has had some health issues recently. I think (and really really hope) she's going to be just fine, but I wanted to dedicate the whole project to her. Since I'm combining photos with relevant field sounds in my music, it's like an audio postcard to my dog... "dear sora rae..."

Thanks Beto. You know, people walk around all the time talking, and then I see they have a phone apparatus in their ear.Most of the time they are oblivious to other people around them. At least I had a phone in my hand and used Voice Memo. But it was fun. Looking at the process, I should have had something on paper to remember what to say. I had a few big gaps when I couldn't come up with something quickly. Bump Bump.

Thanks for the comments, Elesimo.

The slashes after "I"? Those are for me when I sing a new lyric. For example "I / look at the sky" means that "I" is a pick-up note and the first beat of the measure falls on "look". It helps me to remember what is the rhythm of each line.

Those are for my personal use only. I usually remember to take them out because people don't need to see them. But today I was in a Skirmish rush ( AKA Skrush ). Thanks for the reminder. I wouldn't have noticed them otherwise. Cheers!

PS. And thank you again for a great Skirmish prompt...or should I say Skriomptsh? No, I really shouldn't. I'll stop now.

that stanza you like at the end of the dog song is a reference to this group i was recently invited to join, they are academics who pass around the papers they have written to the members. most are critical theorists and the writing is tough going because a lot of it is either coded or uses a specialized vocabulary. but even if i dont understand 90% of it, there are usualy a few illuminating ideas that i understand and are stimulated by.
