1.
Inhibition welcomes investigation, Turn and point the flashlight towards the dark, Observe what you find, Welcome your thoughts and feelings, When you release your grasp the jagged edges become curve, And when new challenges arise and fear consumes you, remember: Looking is the first step to seeing, and seeing is the first step to learning
2.
In Spite of Memories. I desert you, a time I am no longer living within. I move on. I create a new self. Shedding the habits and thoughts that have hung from me for so long. With each passing day I renew. In hopes I remember what gave me joy and forget what made me less. With respect I will shake off whatever remains and return. This is a soft reset.
3.
Falling Face 02:55
Falling Face. To observe without face. To remove the mask. To feel the flow of time as if falling from an eternal height. Face up, the pressure of air on one’s back. Hear the slipstream of descent. A removal from obligation. Stepping back from the controls. Falling backwards as a method to forgive oneself.
4.
Secret Spring. Resting in shallow water. Bright light breaks through the shade of crystal trees. Lifeforms howl in the distance. Some make themselves known, curiously. Others remain distant. Their alarm is calmed. Your presence neither hidden nor put forth. Our centers are another’s perimeter.
5.
Resting Space. Carving out an inner home. A place for positive silence, healing, and rest. To be able to sit quietly with one’s self will allow you to be able to sit quietly with another. When speaking is unnecessary or perhaps gets in the way, this space is what holds you. I dream of a time where we can rest in this space together, between the inevitable events, away from distractions, and at peace.
6.
Overtaking Loss. I can see Loss. Running in front of me. Briskly in slow motion. Running in a circular stream. It is time to move on and pass. As I overtake, I look and watch Loss’ movement. Unable to be captured. Moving in between memories. Hidden underneath the face. I acknowledge their grace and let Loss run freely. I overtake and pass, knowing I will eventually pass them again in time.
7.
The Negative Voice. A masculine voice. A voice of restraint. A voice of fear. Lingering. Ready to undermine and to enforce judgement. It is a scorecard and a tally box. Stepping softly to avoid detection. Through panes of obscured glass, be mindful of your shadow. This is the dance of self destruction. The more you play the more easily you are tricked into believing this is the truth. The bomb explodes and the counter resets. Who have you hurt this time? Will you admit that you hurt too?
8.
Twenty Four Hour Breath. Beauty does not ask to be understood. From dawn to dusk a day forms us anew. The balance of resilience and grace. A trust that the world will go on with and without you. Bring this feeling with you in your travels.

about

This album was recorded in the summer of 2019 on a bedroom floor with an Arturia synth, a Boss Ps-2 and a Count to Five. Simultaneously a reflection on my twenties and a documentation of my own emerging interest in mindfulness. I have written text for each individual track which can be read under the lyrics button. I invite you to read along with each track, but of course it can be enjoyed without!

I have added a bonus modular synth/IDM track that was initially a part of the work but did not end up fitting the feel of the record. Included if you purchase :)

about

Taurus Moon Detroit, Michigan

Taurus Moon leads the listener down a path where they might be met by deep waters of indulging guitar, swimming thru heavy waves to get to the next realm where they are enticed by a magnetizing, intimate soundscape of electronic flora. They sift through the layers of each element before draping one over bare shoulders. A lock hides an uninhibited musical territory, and they hold the skeleton key. ... more
