Humans often show affection by touching body parts together. Hands, lips, reproductive organs, etc. It's a very cute way of expressing intimacy for a species not yet capable of mind melding.

So while it may seem unsanitary, please be kind if you see humans touching each other. It's an integral piece of their traditional socialization.

made this back in February when i was feeling very alienated. this feeling comes and goes from time to time, especially when i think too much about the social aspect of life and how much i don’t fit and don’t really feel like fitting anymore after so many years of living like an outcast WELL here’s my biannual venting post. i don’t really post my venting art anymore, but i feel like it’s useful to be vulnerable sometimes with your art, especially now in the current age of meaningless content and loss of sincerity (all photos were taken by me, i feel like that describes well that all those places look familiar to me, but yet i feel alienated at them)

The moon is sharp, I can feel it. The moon glows over water, there is no one in the water after dark, there is no one in the water I don't see anything else but you in the dark. You're just light upon the dark, I want to hold you in the moon, my arms wrapped around your shoulders.

And still I'm wondering about it, you are close around me, hang around, there is nothing like that power, and I wonder about this. I remember feeling content past the water, I went to sleep, ascending higher, and I'd never flown this high, and your body lay next to me, and we touched, and we took flight.

A I A: Alien Observer / Dream Loss Grouper (2011)

Liz Harris’ best releases, when I go to write about them, sound brimming with cliché. Engrossing? Ethereal? Delicate? Unsettling? Dense? Detailed? Melancholic? I’m tired of most of these words. Plus, they don’t really capture Harris’ music with real accuracy. Her music fits those descriptors in a very singular way, as in they all pretty much fit all of her music, most of the time – and so there isn’t one appropriate, accurate term that does her justice.

In truth, while I appreciate why so many may enjoy both A I A releases, I don’t quite understand the severity of the hype. They’re accessible, which might explain some of that reverence. The lead melodies are, in particular, obvious and pretty enough to be great gateways into other works of ambient music. And perhaps that’s why, of the two, I prefer Dream Loss. Its changes are more incremental, monumental. Its atmosphere is fuller, not so much emanating from a point (as Alien Observer emanates from melody), but a sound that approaches outwards in.

Ambient music should be more accessible and works like A I A only help make it so. Who am I to dare disturb consensus?
