A departure from the solar system

Expand with me for a minute. This is a photo of Earth from the edge of the solar system.

(Earth is the wee tiny blue dot in the middle of the brightest ray on the right.)

We live in an inconceivably large universe, and our entire world is but a pixel in an e-mail in the mind of God.

When we broaden our awareness, our consciousness begins to "...sense more than our physical surroundings," as Michael sings. Astronauts have long reported a permanent change in their consciousness when viewing the Earth from orbit, it's called the Overview Effect.

For Michael Creature, this is how songs are born. Incidentally, Michael is not the only minstrel to hear the "serenade from the stars." Click here to listen to an old Steve Miller favorite, but only if you promise to listen to the lyrics...

Speaking of departures and consciousness - unusual as usual - Michael recently picked up a copy of Kate Bush's latest album, Aerial, after her mom commented on their musical similarities. Supposedly when she was 2 years old, Michael was dancing to Kate's music with her mom, herself an eccentric artist. Recently rediscovering Kate's music, Michael has found uncanny and unusual similarities!

The album art of Aerial has images of Pro Tools waveforms mixed together with blackbird images, titled "Soundwave of Blackbird Song" written on the image. Coincidentally, this visual juxtaposition was also a guiding concept during the composition of Michael's song "Blackbird"!

Creature rock is spreading her wings around Austin! Pick up Michael's album Naked at local independent record stores Waterloo records, End of an Ear, and Secret Oktober.

Support the arts!

Michael performed her newest piano song, 'Unusual as Usual' at her last show! Thanks to all who came out to support the Star Child.

The receptivity with which "Creature Sessions" has been coalescing, fatefully brought to Creature Rock James Harwood - a percussive, diabolical mastermind who owns a whole drum throne, but only uses the edge! Michael and James' musical alchemy is stellar... It's like dance and music; were they not meant to be together? James' intelligent approach to rhythmic surrender is launching the album and the band like a crush black velvet drum stick into the stratosphere! The two are currently recording and royally rocking out, click here for a video of the two recording... Stay tuned for upcoming shows with Michael Creature and her new drummer, James!

Departure from the Usual - the sculptures of Joyce DiBona

Joyce DiBona is a woman of powerful imagination and authentic surrender to her art form. Michael was captivated by the artist recently, when given a tour of her studio - a room of bodies, tattooed with cosmic meaning, born from pervasive skill. Joyce shared a video of her artistic process, documenting the 6-month-long creation of a sculpture to be unveiled at the NYC Biennal. The impact of seeing a condensed, personal film strip spanning six months, alongside the finished product, was profound! Check out the sculptures at www.joycedibona.com.

HUGE LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!!!! -----
