Album description
“rich text with pleasing undulating voice and music” - Brenda Clews’ poetry performance pieces1. Dance of the Solar Wind. I wrote this prosepoem in 2007, and recorded it that year. In 2009, I added some Garageband piano loops.
2. Light Catches Diamonds was composed 2007; recorded 2008; in 2009 paired with ‘Because,’ from “Go Away Blues,” by Buz Hendricks of Jazz Street Trio, with permission.
3. Love Letters in Sand Mandalas. Originally recorded in 2005, I added a background of ocean and shells to the recording in 2009.
4. “Roses and Hands”
In the dream, her hands
felt like flowers.
She couldn’t explain it.
In her palms, flowers,
like roses, only immeasurably
enfolded, multi-petaled,
deep dusk rose-pink,
soft and fragile
and intricate
and very, very
sensitive.
5. Meridians of Culture. Experimental avantguarde music in the background: ‘Lambkins Black,’ by Gabriel Garrod of Alphacore, with permission._Image, Pulsing Hea(r)t, Eye of Ra, one of my paintings – click on cover for larger size

@Slag_Runner - My best wishes to you, too, for a safe and prosperous new year, Jay. Apologize for my tardy response. I’ve been enjoying your posts and photos and videos. A colourful life, if in muted tones for the Internet!
hugs, Brenda
