If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.

"At the root of all power and motion, there is music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies against the matrix of time.

We know that every particle in the physical universe takes its characteristics from the pitch and pattern and overtones of its particular frequencies, its singing. Before we make music, music makes us."

- Joachim-Ernst Berendt

Listen to Virtual Adept '09

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!

Black Cat taken by Jon Sullivan

Since the last time we saw our musical pilgrim, she has been...

- scribbling down song ideas - in Black Rock City - sleeping (or lack thereof) - learning Pro Tools - working - planning for future travel adventures (Beltane Fire Festival anyone?) - blasting pixels - working - a tone deaf bard killing zombies - philosophizing - tearing up her garden - dreaming of stories and songs to come -

I'm pretty punctual about posting a song a month, but learning Pro Tools and real life drifted their way in. I also wanted to take my time and flesh out the mood of the project. The poem is from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by TS Elliot and the person who recited it is amazing. I've always enjoyed the musical, but the poem itself took a life of it's own and demanded his own original piece.

Plus Macavity has always been one of my favorite characters... ;)
