Katauta #32

Sometimes it gets hard to sleep or breathe when you have to work, create things, blog, and deal with life issues all at once.

Katauta #31

I’ve been negligent in incorporating instruments into my Katauta projects, so I decided to debut one of my panflutes for this minimalist spoken word piece.

It was fun trying to come up with a linear, yet noticeable melody in between each line of the katauta as a motif. Maybe I should use this instrument more often in recordings or possibly if I decide to do this Ospreyshire thing live at concerts.

I have a hard time smiling most days anyway regardless of the situation.

Katauta #28

This has been a painful week so far and I’m still processing everything.

My Grammy died earlier this week and I want to do something in her memory.

I made a Katauta that’s dedicated to her, but I’m also going to put another post later today about how I’ve been feeling after the fact.

RIP: Gloria Bland. You’ve lived a great life and you are loved so much.

I wish you could come back and really show how much I care about you.

The ambivalence of forgiving or fighting back is such an arduous one.

Either way, I won’t be anyone’s whipping boy.

I finally made it to the halfway point of my little challenge.

Look at that, I briefly scream in this video. I had to restrain some of my rage in this performance.

The apathy astounds me as bad things happen in this world.

Katauta 52 Project #16

I finally had enough time for using an instrument for once given my schedule.

It was fun doing a minimalistic piece with a chord I’ve never used before. I’ll see if I can use instruments more often if time allows.

Katauta 52 Project #15

15 weeks already? Alright then.

Here’s a spoken word piece I came up with for today. It’s been rough not having as much time to do as much musical compositions given my current schedule, but I said I would do one video a week for this project.

Enjoy!
