i wrote a piece of music that’s part of a compilation put together by @genggrizzly
we call the comp RESIST COLONIAL POWER BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. 90 artists and tracks.
it’s up for pre-order on bandcamp today (bandcamp friday) and my track “melt together mold together” can be previewed there. gna share link on stories / you can search PTP on bandcamp
this demo first started years ago, but was completed end of 2023 with new lyrics and new life. i shared this with geng about the song:
while i was touring EU, i felt an urge to speak more than i normally would at my shows. when i was improvising my message every night, bringing up ap4rth3id into the discourse, i kept coming back to the messaging that our heart is a muscle to be used over and over. its so easy to numb ourselves / disassociate / normalize, and i wanted to challenge us to refuse falling into these patterns. i think the words “melt (our hearts) together, mold (the present, the future) together” came from this train of thought.. to remind ourselves that we are all humans together, with a body, heart, and soul– therefor, we deeply care for each other. & therefor, we will not just sit and watch. “together. together.”
sonically, the song reminds me a lot of when i first started writing music. “ny93” era.
writing this felt really freeing.
“the artist’s role is that of a truth teller”
