this was the first plunderphonics arpeggio song that by the time i finished it i wasnt happy with it at all. around the same time i started feeling uncomfortable with femininity in the way i had been expressing it before. this was the first time since starting estrogen that i started feeling really out of place or like i was in a costume - the same way i had been feeling before starting hrt. i had moved out of a city that was absolutely exhausting to live in and moved in with my girlfriend in her apartment and even though i loved her dearly, and i was so happy to be with her every day, i was still depressed. my hair was bleached white and so DEAD and thin from testosterone poisoning and the new baby hairs growing in underneath were so thick and curly and dark and i couldn't get it to look how i wanted no matter how hard i tried. my hair looked like a bird. or like i was a member of the cure without even putting product in it. this song is a weird little snapshot from a weird little time in my life and i feel like this song reflects the frustration i was feeling at the time.

i hope you enjoy it!!!!!!!!

One month later and i recorded my first song with screaming vocals on it. One month later and i start experimenting with polyamory. One month later and i start smoking weed regularly and have an experience w/ edibles where i hallucinated for 72 hrs straight and i thought i was losing my mind the entire time. That kind of is the start of where the next chapter in my musical exploration begins.

Hope to see you again soon.
