For years I talked about “making an album” but the task felt overwhelming for me. It wasnt that I wasn’t capable, I just wasn’t truly excited about the idea.
I had internalized this idea that I would be able to take myself more seriously and that others would take me more seriously as an artist if I had this. Because it felt like such an important step for me, I wanted it to be PERFECT.
Obviously there is no truly perfect work but I had a specific sound I wanted it to fit and I was not (and am still not) capable of producing that sound by myself.
Well I finally smashed the idea of making that album but I still wanted a way to honor these songs before moving on to completely focusing on new music and new emotions that may very well be very different from what I’ve done so far.
I decided to release two EP’s and attempt to make a video for all 8 songs, or at least the first 4.
The songs are far from what I once wanted them to be but something I am still proud of, a representation of who I was and what I was channeling for much of the past 10 years. It’s time to put a period on this era, and that’s what these releases and especially this video are all about.
The first EP is fully recorded and the second EP just needs a few finishing touches.
I feel like I’ve finally found my voice, and I don’t know if it will resonate or not, but it’s time to share everything without second guessing myself.
EP1 Astral Blanket will be out before the end of the year and EP2 shortly after.

This song feels mysteriously nostalgic to me.
I see you have also started subscribing to InLeo. I know nothing about that new feature, is it a monthly subscription?
Nostalgic is good! It was nostalgic for me 🙃 ❤️
What do you mean subscribing to Leo? I have some subscriber only threads and posts at Leo which cost $5 a month to access. Honestly I want to move it to just donation in the future but the encryption lets me talk about some stuff I don’t wanna share with Google bots 😆
So that's $5 a month, thanks😀
I spent all my $HBD the other day to attend a bitcoin conference, so I'll save up again and go sign up. Might be hard to do every month, but I'd like to read it.
Is your novel on InLeo too?
Aww thank you! Right now I’m sharing tips about growing on Substack but if you join I will make something that might be more interesting to you ! I will go back and forth between topics 😊
I see, thanks!
I'll do my best to post HIVE so I can pay the $5 first😅
Wishing you all the best in all your creative endeavors👍
Thank youuuu let’s get curry soon! Weekend only right?
Yes, it's getting cooler.
Weekdays are also o-kay.
I like the song!
And the video as well, it’s so interesting to see some pictures of the place you live 😊
Experiencing your music live on a concert must be pretty trippy ^^
Congratulations on your music release!
Yaaaaay thanks for watching! I hope it’s trippy 🤣
The video is split between Xiamen HK and Tokyo. All filmed 2016-2024. I wanted 2012-2015 cause that time was WILD but no footage 🥹
I love videos like this, so personal and raw and honest 😊
What are you up to btw!
Huge transformational challenges this year, lots of inner work. I'm upgrading to a new version, it feels. Maybe a butterfly or something else shiny and light ^^ I’m sure she will create things again, don’t know what yet but I’m excited!
