Week #4 Coming Down the Pyramid

Week #4 Coming Down the Pyramid I’m tired of the relentless climb to the top of Maslow’s pyramid, the hierarchy of needs. What’s the point of self-actualisation when you’re not even sure who you want to be any more? Today I’m sharing my deepest of complaints. Will it lead to some resolution?

[This is another catch-up entry spanning the week of 17th – 23rd December, 2023. This one is a doozy of a rant, so be warned!] Thursday 21st December I’ve been having some really confusing emotions around my music this week. A few months ago I contributed to a Kickstarter campaign by independent musician, Jewelia. I found out about her through a music production Facebook group for women and…

Week: Christmas

I just wanted to post something to wish you all a merry Christmas. I’m currently still writing posts for Week #3 and Week #4, and to be honest they’re pretty heavy subject matter, filled with a lot of self reflection and observations, so I want to give them the time they need to percolate rather than rushing to post. Instead, I wanted to show you a few of my daughter’s presents (including one…

Week #1 Disconnecting, Reconnecting, & Recollecting

Hi everyone! Welcome to my first week of blogging through my Instagram hiatus. I decided to write some daily entries on the fly during the week so I would definitely have something to show you, and I’m glad, because when I sat down to ‘blog properly’ not only was I able to remember what I did, but I was also able to connect some dots. A handful of relevant themes became apparent. There’s a good…

Dusting Off This Blog

Hello all! I’m reviving this old WordPress blog of mine to help me document my days during a planned hiatus from posting to Instagram. In my time off I’m going to be working in a more focussed way on my music projects, specifically my debut album as Lucid Letters (yeah, I changed my artist name, btw…) and all the accompanying visuals and promotional materials. If you’re feeling particularly…

2018: Year In Review

2018: Year In Review

I don’t have that long to get this post in before midnight, so I’ll be brief!

Defiantly Delicate (December 2018)

2018 has been a year of incredible personal and professional growth for me. I’ve achieved more this year than I think I ever have in a 12-month period. I’ve also been blessed by having amazing supporters and collaborators in my life that in a sense have always been there, but now…

NEW RELEASE // Live EP: Caryl @ TUSTONBURY 2

It’s finally December! And what better time than now to hand you my new live EP?

My lovely gig mic TUSTONBURY 2

Earlier this year I was invited to perform a solo gig at a charity mini-festival held at a highly motivated individual‘s home, just outside Bolton.

I decided I wanted combine a couple of personas, so I attended as a sort of Caryl Archer/Sister Sparkle hybrid. My gig playlist combined…

ANNOUNCEMENT // New Single August 2018: Electric

ANNOUNCEMENT // New Single August 2018: Electric

It’s new single time again! This month I’m releasing my epic electro-rock fusion track, Electric.

Unlike the other new singles so far in this series, this release will have quite a specific sound palette, including lo-fi 808 samples and retro videogame-style bloops and bleeps. Alongside the title track will be two new songs, Wavelength and Bloom.

Let’s take a look at the tracks one by one.

Potential Energy: The Week On/Week Off Method (that I just invented...)

Potential Energy: The Week On/Week Off Method (that I just invented…)

Welcome one and all to another update to my personal blog!

Today I’m discussing a new organisational plan of mine called the Week On/Week Off Method.

How It Happened

The idea came to me while in a time of self-reflection.

I think it’s important to act, get stuff done, and then have a look  back at what you managed to complete, and how you might optimise the process.

What I found in my own working…
