Hi There,

I have just released a new song called, ‘Sleeping ZZZZs’. So far, I have uploaded it to only one platform, Bandcamp.

‘Sleeping ZZZZs’ was recorded during the pandemic lockdown at home. During the session, I was teaching myself how to record, and this song was a precursor to some of the music I have already recorded and released i.e. Graphic Touch, Right Angles, White Ash, Emergency, and Steal.

To create the track, I used a Casiotone 405 (bought from an op shop) and a piano which has been in my family for over 60 years, in fact, it belonged to my maternal grandmother. I remember it always being around. As a result, the piano sound resonates powerfully with my identity and underpins childhood perceptions and memory.

The main vocal was recorded in one take, with multiple backing vocals/harmonies and synth added after. The track was meant to only exist as a demo to re-record later, but I ended up satisfied with the song’s unusual and simple, spacey sound.

I haven’t released the track until now because I really didn’t understand what my subconscious was trying to tell me, and it is one of those songs where you can simply get lost trying to make sense of its layers.

Sleeping ZZZZs

I wanted to be
Myself around you
But I could not understand myself
No more than any moment I was dealt

Did not understand myself
No more than any problem

So I stayed low
Doing nothing
For I knew I
Would not be everything
To anyone who believed in me

Sure, I could not understand myself
No more than any moment I had felt
I did not understand myself
No more than any problem
I was dealt

Sleeping ZZZZ’s
Filing off them pages
Fall asleep into some dream like status
Every word reveals untruth
I’d be lying if I said I was immune

See the paper lifting off the table
Now the wind’s generating labels
Every word reveals some untruth
I’d be lying

I was dealt
Sleeping ZZZZ’s
Filing off them pages
Fall asleep into some dream like status
Every word reveals untruth
I’d be lying if I said I was immune

See the paper lifting off the table
Now the wind’s delegating labels
Every word reveals some untruth
I’d be lying if I said it didn’t resonate

Now I think
I’m lonely
But a gift in sight
Has set me free
I wish that I could take attacks
Put away each dish I’ve cleaned or cracked

Walk back through a door held open
I’d care to leave the past unbroken
Sleeping ZZZZ’s file off them pages
We fall into the dreamlike status
Words reveal their complications
I’m lying if I said I was immune

This week, I was invited to be part of the Zoo’s 30th Birthday celebrations Art Show and Zooie Reunion. For the event, I was inspired to create some new designs onto T-Towels around the themes of true connection, communication and trusted friendships.

‘Friends Forever, Reach Together’ is the first design I have made in the range. You can find these designs printed onto organic cotton T-Towels. Thanks to Susy @organicprintstudio for your technical support and production assistance.

If you would like to support the designs, please visit my shop/website/Bandcamp page here to purchase as this supports my practice and encourages me to keep going. They are $28 each + postage, or if you would like to purchase a bundle, please email me and I will organise a different arrangement to get them to you.

Many thanks,

Tylea…with a T
