For almost three years I started scavenging musical findings mostly because I was thirsty for new sounds. I started by committing to a musical or digital media post a day. When I least knew it, there was poetry in there, writings, personal obsessions based on what was being listened to. I was doing it in sadness and joy, for things to be moved about, suddenly understanding and connecting to things from my past. Of how when I was little (don't know what age) I remember how the dust slowly danced through a window by an area in the middle of the stairs where the stereo played "The Carpenters". Of how musicals (yes musicals), changed my life to the point I literally thought adults in love sang to each other, which I still think they do but in a prose/slow-rapping kind of way.
