musicians for Palestine - letter ,

"As musicians, we uplift the voice of the oppressed. We unflinchingly condemn oppression in all forms, just as we condemn harming civilians, without hesitation, no matter their identity. As the emancipatory Brazilian philosopher Paulo Freire reminds us, to end all violence we must work tirelessly to end its root cause, oppression. 

We cannot be silent. We draw inspiration from Artists Against Apartheid that helped end apartheid in South Africa.  We refuse to let our music be used to whitewash oppression and human rights violations anywhere. We insist that all governments stop sending weapons and military funding to Israel and to any other state involved in crimes against humanity.

Today, we demand an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid in Gaza, and an end to the siege. The day after, our vision of a just and peaceful future for all must be our most urgent task. We urge everyone who shares that vision to join us. "

T_T

:: 'timeless_trivialities' is up and out of the archives -- give it a listen at the link up top

:: cassette tapes are in the works for the end of autumn. grateful to be working with @thefountainconcertseries ' new DIY label based here in Oakland.

: also really lookin fwd to holding an object! in my hands! that I can give to my Mum! and say Look! eye AM broke but I DID go to my 'JOB' but I DID make the thing! also, looking fwd celebrating with a wee little winter time showww (👀)

------

:: yesterday eye uploaded and released it quietly for myself and the stared into the abyss of IG until now 🕳 (tumblr & soundcloud saw it first!! if you havent' gathered s'far i rlly do hate this cursed website💀)

:

lately ive been deeply struggling with these platforms of self-promotion and want to do something with this release beyond giving pennies to bandcamp (who's new owners also get a big fuck you for firing half of their staff and not recognizing the recently won union)

these songs mean more to me than the chump change of sales, and I'm inspired by artists who are able to mobilize what they create to pull focus and rally supprt support of needed relief, especially in this violently hectic time of ramped up genocidal impunity. what are our creations for if not for healing, to speak truth to power, and to resist the economies of domination. track three "sovereign intimacy" is a song I wrote for my senior creative thesis, in step with the insanity of this moment, and the chronic insanity of settler colonial fever dream unreality. as we continue to witness these empire machines violently resist the people's demands to cease with these old world colonail paradigms, I hope this song particularly, and the songs on this project bring you or anyone some soothing, some witness, some resonance.

the album is also up on bandcamp put please truly do not buy it, not there and not yet. If wanna send me money through there I'd suggest adding to wishlist and waiting for bandcamp friday, because once again, a HUGE fuck you to the new owners songtradr.

::

I'm in the works getting this release and my other audio projects organized as a free download // offering in support of Palestinian relief/solidarity efforts. I'll be sharing that presently, so If you want to support or are interested in that offering be on the look out.

i know what music has done for me in times of grief. all of these songs I have written as acts of saving my own life, and have helped me to transmute through my own versions of hell. these files are all I have to give and I'd rather give them away if that supports someone feeling more motivated to put their dollars in the pocket of medical relief funds right now.

social media is hell and self-promotion makes me want to rip my eye-balls out, but thank you to my friends and family and community for continuing to support my music making, thank you my buddies at the fountain for the generous advive and encouragement

and thank you to music, the mystery of the sound wavs, for always being there for me, for us, in and through portals of grief

heart tissue :: single 🇵🇸

sharing a second single from my album "timeless_trivilaities" coming out next week. all proceeds from the album for the foreseeable future will be going towards solidarity and relief funds. the people of palestine deserve our absolute fucking grief and rage and continued energy beyond ceasfire and towards the end of apartheid and illegal occupation.

"heart tissue" the single is free to download and listen on soundcloud, ----

in reciprocity for the song (and esp if you download) please feel strongly encrouaged to donate. I spend buckets of money on these trinket little art projects and im not selling them for pennies in a morally bankrupt industry, not in this moment --

-- heart tissue lives here:

on soundcloud & bandcamp

below here is suggested donation information to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) , shared from @radioalhara

:: heart tissue single has been out quietly, on soundcloud for a little over a week now. couldn't bring myself to post it or self-promote amidst the sickening genocidal siege we are witnessing amidst ongoing violent catastrophes in haiti, sudan, the ongoing desecration and occupation of turtle island, of all native lands under colonial domination. some days, most days, the grief is actually too fucking much, and in the recent weeks I have lost all capacity to care about self-promotion for self promotion's sake. really all we can do as indivudals are drops in buckets, but I hope anwyas that we can shift our art towards utility for material justice, for emotional healing, for spiritual liberation as these systems burn, looming to crush us all

can we de-indsutrailize music? reclaim our emotion caputured within the commodfication of song files and streams? i do not fucking know. but as a musician who writes from the heart as an act of saving my own life, i trust that what we go through and what we share means more than clout and

death to patriarchy death to racial capitalism and death to colonial logics and structures, it is soon come and I call in so much love and grief and rage and purpose with why we create, gather people together, gather attention, trust ::
