Artemis Robison (www.artemis.fm) is a singer, songwriter, improviser, and creative polymath, whose spell biding instantly recognizable music flows from pop to ambient, to experimental, to electronic, without ever losing its identity, as emotive as it is beautiful. Please check out her new album Of This Dirt (https://music.artemis.fm/album/of-this-dirt).

a journey
down the roots of our family tree
through the marrow of a breath
across the tides that river our veins
into the heart that dances us all
the pulse of a moment
infinite finiteness of a life
risen from ashes of galaxies’ pyres
up the spiral ladder
again
hand to hand
me
down the roots...
absolutely. relativity proclaims it. creative is the thread, through it all continues to move us, move through us, archetypes breathing our every move, this only every moment. we build these homes of imagination, thin air, inspiration. small stars in vast expanse of darkness we are, and yet every twinkling has its source and return in one great multifaceted beating heart. shadow only distance traveled between points of light. one way or another, we all get there together. and if from time to time we lose our way, i’ll meet you, my friend, in ten billion years…this may take awhile…
one thread running through these songs is the sense that the more we attempt to step into one another’s shoes, see deeply and even experience profoundly from the perspective of another, the more sane our world, our interactions, our lives can become and ultimately be. some of the phrases in these songs originate from the languages and deeply earth-and-cosmos-aligned understanding of brothers and sisters born of different cultures than the ones that shaped this particular fleshy spacesuit. this heart-soul-mouth is singing these words, visions and intentions with gratitude, respect and reverence, and only the greatest hope that some idea, feeling, color, flash of inspiration or creative healing light may come through that might be in service of repairing bonds torn asunder by pain, trauma, misunderstanding, separation, ignorance, fear and disrespect. or that might bring a little hope, light, joy, understanding, comfort or inspiration to anyone whose ears have found their way open to this momentary sonic meditation. or that might help forge another step forward toward dreaming a world we can all continue living and loving. thank you for listening. i’m still listening, too…and, to the best of my abilities, attempting to be able to respond.
