Earthen
The rogue unbound
A lone wanderer who’s only friend the stardust (and every stereoed one)
Broadcasting light
Intermittent, hovers
Above
In front of (lensing)
Intermittent, uninvisible to all who hear
Who’s rushed blood etches maps dotted with palaces and untethered destines
Gives up to
Intermittent
Nothing
A great fusor
Burning long after the red ones are cold
Nomadic owner of all stories dredges the depths of hardened clay to show malleable and silken gold effigies, dancing (as the red shifts)
Did you hear? There
And there he showed (the little girl leads) all that made you and visits your deepest sleeps. Not god, but greater than, beyond mortal imagination.
Solo Sherpa
Guiding no one, leading only two, between the chemistry can scale unfathomable timeless, solid swells. Still a biding hand the guider needs.
A single lesson
Everything known
Grateful in all directions
Healing in all directions
All directions in all directions
You I know song
You I know sound
You I know love
You I own me
You I excavate the clay

Thank you to Mat, Carl, Julien, Andrea, Theo, and Kyrie for lending their immense talents to interpreting and performing the music. To Nikki and Brodie for their impeccable vision. Hadyn and Dave and for their expert ears. Tash for her soup, snacks, vibe, inspiration, support, encouragement, and understanding. Special thanks to Sasha Wilson and Max Jodrell for bringing the vibe to the studio.

Interactive in a sense, every time I listen to this album...always in full cuz it's that good...it makes my ears work to uncover what Helen Svoboda has masterfully placed into The Odd River. Dig it. Alison
