ONLINE WRITING SESSION NEXT WEEK!!!!! APRIL 17

Phase 1: Connect | Imagine | Create

Together we Created:

— Lyric Circle
— Imagination Statements
— Tag Clouds
— Artist Banners
— Music!

In our Livestream, we explored our intentions and shared our vision for IMAGINATION RISING — the new remix event at MixterPlus.


“Imagine all the people sharing all the world.” ~John Lennon


Art is our voice yet our creativity stretches beyond sound. Through music, we express what words cannot. Join Imagination Rising and together we’ll shape the world with sound and creativity.

For Imagination Rising we’ll create in stages — from community connection to pells, stems, and samples; from collaborative lyrics to fully produced tracks. What we create in this event will bring our collective dreams to life, shaping the impact we wish to make in the world.


Phase 2: Imagine | Create (Samples & Pells)

Some of us gathered today and brainstormed lyrics that set the tone for this event — where we each contributed lines of imagination. Read the lyrics to Molecular Movement HERE and continue the creativity HERE !!

Now its time to create samples, sounds, songs, and pells inspired by our imagination. Until April 13, focus on this phase and then we move to remixing!

You’re encouraged to create sounds in the key of F, but anything is invited!

Join us in transforming imagination into reality. Let’s remix, innovate, and dream — one lyric, song, pell, sample, and track at a time.

Molecular Movement

By: Kara Square, Apoxode, mwic, Kirkoid, christysea, Scomber, spinningmerkaba, So Sha, Sackjo22, Admiral Bob, QuianaNadine, Snowflake


Let’s be the source
Drawing from the universe
Grounded in love
Because we’re all diverse
Wings without thought
Movement without force

Rising above
Close my eyes I hear music
Flying
Flying
Reminding each other of who we truly are
Soaring
Soaring
Music is flying
Invisible
Who we are
Who we are

Merging with the quantum
Of all that surrounds them
Scrambling from brambles
Cutting, clearing
Imagination grows from our thorns
Birthing forth new worlds with our expression
Letting go of the ground
Soar above the clouds

Molecular movement
Toward a new world
Always the strings of the guitar vibrating
Never touching
Faltering
Harmonics frequencies
Sensing sound
Pulsing
Synchronizing with the universe
Like the beating of our hearts

Chimes bells
Resound in the wind

Connecting to the frequency writing about all we can see

Psycles
Cycles
Imagination
Circles
Epochs
Eons
Infinity
Creation
Where the beginning is the end

I’ll be bringing my song “By”; the lyrics have been in the works for about a year, and I finally got a good melodic idea for the chorus.

This is one of my favorite lyrics I’ve ever written. I graduated from wordplay to letter-play on this little fella.

Hmmm… I’ll see what I feel like next Thursday, but I might record some flute… or harmonica… or revisit some of my recent lyrics and see if I can make any of them work…

I’m thinking I’ll either start a remix in Pro Tools with some Apoxode stems or continue writing a new song based on our community lyric writing session. We’ll see where the muse takes me!

Not able to join at 10am during the week, but are you planning on posting to Youtube because it would be interesting to see?

Darkroom,

For this one we’re keeping it closed from both streaming and posting, out of respect for people’s privacy and comfort levels.

I would love to do one like you’re talking about, with just video so we can see folks working on their tracks.
I think if there was a host, they could cycle through the screens?
I’m not sure, I haven’t ever hosted a livestream.
What are your thoughts?

I am also not well versed in live streaming but what you mentioned about cycling through would be awesome, I really meant if someone has been sort of stuck on a project and could use creative input from others then that could be a live streaming session where we could queue up and get feedback from others live. Again I am not too certain if that is feasible or note but just a random idea.

Darkroom,
Actually yeah, it is totally doable, we did it for our Lyric Circle—it was a success!
That’s one of the things we’re getting going, with people popping in to get some inspiration and advice for what they’re working on.
Trick is figuring out when, right?
Lots of folks globally, so some people would be either late night or early morning.
There’s a solution there, and if you want to help, get back at me via email and lets talk availability.
Would like to have you on board.
Kindly,
Apoxode

I’m going to challenge myself by doing a multitrack, one channel at a time, and then uploading the stems to Mixter Plus.
I’m thinking whatever mood I’m in at the time, kind of how I roll anyhow :D

Signed,
Apoxode (from the block)
