transmasc fox made of moss

Mosræv (danish for moss fox) - nonbinary transmasculine singer songwriter from Denmark. I make songs about the queer experience with some added fandom or mythology themes as a treat. This blog will contain original songs, song lyrics, transvoice related updates (hopefully) and the occasional cover song.

First post on (this) tumblr! so exciting!!

Hi everybody - my name's Micah aka Mosræv (danish for Moss fox)

I write songs about my experiences as a queer person (nonbinary transmasculine aro ace individual) together with miscelaneous themes such as life, loss, fandoms and mythology/folklore.

This video you are watching is the trailer for my youtube channel you can find here.

So far I've resorted old low-fi demos (me+ guitar in bedroom) and old live videos yet, I plan on submitting newer material soon so stay tuned! 🎶

Inbetween video uploads I think about sharing some more text and artbased ideas as well which will be more or less exclusive for this tumblr so if you want a reason to stick around, maybe this is it!

In the future I hope to add testosterone updates to the mix (in three days I get the verdict whether my local gender clinic will approve of me starting t so that's exciting!!)

I've been babbling for long enough - stay creative my fellow foxes and I'll see you next time 🦊💚

[mosraev]

First thing I did in a long ass while and it is a quick cover of Joker Out's new single Bluza :'D

Hope to some day get back into the rhythm of the HRT updates and/or lowfi demos - until then I hope you enjoy this

[mosraev]

Eighted trans vlog: I tried to get back into making smaller updates again which worked .... for a week or two. I mostly talk about chest dysphoria, binders and transtape with a bit of vocal changes and body hair thrown into the mix

[mosraev]

Seventh trans vlog: I forgot to submit for the fifth month so I edited it together with the sixth so here's two months worth of changes, experiences and silly side tangents while I am dyeing my hair.

[mosraev]

I actually made it before the end of the day that's amazing!!

Here's my little ten year anniversary video where I play a rewritten version of my first ever song, Ray of Sunshine. The original version will be playing afterwards.

At time of recording (the recent clips) I am 5,5 months (24 weeks) on testosterone

[mosraev]

Today as it turns out is 10 years since I made my first song

Facebook was so kind of reminding me that it was 10 years ago I wrote and shared 'Ray of Sunshine' aka my first full song ever

Look at this pre-everything cinnamon roll :'3

This is what I look like today a decade later (picture taken May 6)

[mosraev]

Sixth transgender vlog: This turned into more of a travel/concert vlog with footage from and around the four Joker Out concerts I attended this month. In transition related news I've started to notice the changes happening to my voice and face.

[mosraev]

Fifth transgender vlog: I go through the expected changes on testosterone talking about my experiences after three months on testosterone gel. I will be hit on themes such as facial hair growth, upping my dosis of testosterone and craving more protein in my diet.

[mosraev]

Fourth transgender vlog: A shorter one where I talk through the changes I've experienced my second month on testosterone. A tiny bit more is happening this month although outside of a period not showing up the changes has most to do with body modifications (haircolour and a new tattoo)

[mosraev]

I haven't been doing a lot of lowfi demos in a while and would like to get back to it (especially now there's a break from choir and my voice may soon start to change)

I would like to hear what you might prefer I do first:

Option 1) I rerecord one/some of my old songs

Option 2) I finish and record a song I've made about the anticipation of HRT

Option 3) I take on a sort of song writing challenge - maybe make it a thing that I give myself a songwriting challenge every month

Option 4) I record some of the songs I haven't already

[mosraev]

Third transgender vlog: I am sharing my experiences of being on testosterone the first month (week 2-4.5). As the title says there might not be much happening yet but still I go over what things I have noticed plus some things that might be happening soon and what new fun tools I've found to play with.

[mosraev]

3 weeks on testosterone update 🦊💛

[mosraev]

Second transgender vlog: Here I will talking about my first week on hrt, my experiences and first expression using testosterone plus sharing my two first t-updates (at one day and one week on t)

[mosraev]

Compilation of songs played at my 30 minute Trans Day of Remembrance gig on November 20 2023. Thank you to my friend, Alexandra for filming :3

Stay creative, my fellow foxes 🦊💚

If anybody is curious how the performance went here is a short recap from IG before going to bed 😁

Stay creative, my fellow foxes 🦊💚

I failed to be a daughter and I'll fail to be a son, I Am Here (2022, Mosræv)

Happy Transgender Awareness Week! I filmed this at the beginning of the week yet took a while to edit it so I am pleasantly surprised I still managed to get it out before the end of the week. This song was one of the first I managed to write fully about my experience as a transmasc nonbinary individual. I hope you like it

Recorded 23/11/13 - Pret-T - Lyrics under the line

Stay creative, my fellow foxes 🦊💚

Lyrics:

I find the monsters under my bed

much more friendly than the voices in my head.

They're telling me that I am wrong:

Everything from my body to my voice.

But I keep holding on.

I try to stay afloat.

I am here.

I am here.

I am here.

I am, I am.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a ghost,

avoiding mirrors to protect my fragile host.

'Cause all reflections will reveal

is just how empty I feel inside.

I'm a liar, imposter, the list goes on.

I failed to be a daughter and I'll fail to be a son.

I am here.

I am here.

I am here.

I am,

I am scared of the part that I got to play.

I'm a terrible actor and far from okay.

I need help but I'm afraid to ask for it.

Instead I throw everything into this song,

hoping one day I can sing along to:

"I am here, queer and proud".

I am here.

See me, I'm here.

I am here.

I am, I am,

I am here.

Right here.

I am here.

I am.

I'm still here.

[mosraev]

Concert coming?

It has been a while.

Just wanted to let you guys know there's a good chance I'll perform at my city's protest for Trans day of Remembrance. That will be the first "gig" in 8 years that is not part of an open mic or school performance so I am very excited.

Other news:

New demo will come tomorrow for Trans Week of visibility

New trans update will be recorded around November 22 when I (hopefully) start T
