My new solo music project 💎Crystal Quartez 💎 is finally ready to break free! After a long period of self discovery and reinvention I’m ready to book shows again and share what I’ve been working on. I don’t have any music online yet but if you’re interested in adding some ambient sounds to your bill in May and beyond I can send you a sample! Thanks to everyone in my community of musicians and artists for the ongoing support, it means everything! Love you all! 🌿💕 . . #pdxmusic #ambient #soundon #experimental #fieldrecording #soundart #portland #pdx #420 #electronicmusic #synth #contemporaryart #healing #visionboard #crystals #wip #painting #sound #soundhealing

One of a series of exercises I’m doing to calm mental processes which hinder creativity. 

Last week Matt and I walked 20 miles without speaking, eating, or stopping. It took about 8 hours, going from city to rural and back again. Exercise adapted from the Abramovic method.
