freewriting, neptunian
There is a smaller town in the deeps of Halcyon that rests on pools and rivers of a dense, silvery glowing liquid. This gives it a aesthetic reminiscent of that of an old Terran city of Venice locked in a brightly moonlit night at pretty much all times of the day. It's location and aesthetic has lent it a romantic reputation.
There is a nice restaurant by one of the larger rivers, lesser known for meeting folks you've been long separated from.
I take the scenes I see playing out to music and I record them. At times, I feel more like a field reporter than an author, with the paracosm as my field. On the other end, I'm not good with actual terminology or any left-brain approach to music/sound. I approach it like I would be reverse-engineering the process, telling stories that I have in my mind's eye.
Writing and music have been two sides of the same coin for me, and I'm not sure how i could be a writer without music. Music trances me, and tells me stories in a way that only music can. chords and harmony and layers from so many types of instruments that spark emotions in our brains and play with our associations to paint pictures in sound traveling through the air. Empathetic, communicative.
It's magic, honestly, and I had this opinion looong before I was ever spiritual.
I want to talk about music a bit, my relationship to it & how I've approached producing it, with the added note that i am not very experienced there.
I'll preface this by mentioning that I am inspired by this: https://patches.vizor.io/machinedrum/ocean-of-thought (cw: hypnotic induction)
AND HEY, BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm coming out with a new issue-format webcomic this summer, DOUBLE BLIND! It's a story about sex, cybernetics and feeling really fucking weird about your body. For mature readers only! Stay tuned!

Maybe I was the only one that ever stood in my way of fully believing that I'm not human, and feeling that Knowing.

I can allow myself to not just say that I am.
but to be who I am
and believe who I am
It's okay if I relax to the reality of that against the fear of not being in my right mind

I'm allowed to be as real as I can be. work magic sparks across the wires and dance to some fire
