I’m AnnA, the homo sapien of this operation, and fellow sojourner through life.
I like boba tea, and weird foods. I like adverse weather, horseback riding, mountain climbing, and the great outdoors in general. I’m an introvert, but I like being on stage in front of people. I also make music.
I’m also just a lady on a journey. I don’t have very much figured out.
As a musician, I’m dissatisfied with the myriad pre-existing performing constructs and outlets. I studied Classical Violin for years, got a degree and a half, spent eleven years in college, and was unfulfilled. So I spent a few years experimenting with new musical ideas, and in the process found some pieces of my musical puzzle.
As far as physical sound goes, I like music theory and physics of sound. In exploring music theory, I found that the fractals expressed in the Bible manifest in the structures of music. The fractals of sound became a piece of my puzzle. My experiments with fractals in sound transitioned from physical or soul-based experiments to spiritual explorations in which I tested various fractals of sound on land and other aspects of creation as a spiritual diagnostic tool. I generally found that I could play different fractals on land and get different spiritual responses depending on the design of the land and the spiritual junk that might be on it. While it boosted my discernment for sure, it didn’t really sparkle for me.
Another piece of the puzzle that fit into place for me was in contemporary improvisation. Instead of playing what someone wrote hundreds of years ago, I could find my own sound as an artist. What originally inspired me was the improvisation in the charismatic church. I found that style generally simplistic, so I branched off from there to study at the New England Conservatory to develop a more holistic musical palette.
I think there are two main reasons why using fractals of sound as a diagnostic tool didn’t sparkle so much for me. One was that diagnostics leans toward diagnosing problems and then fixing them as a healer, but I’m a builder. I wanted my music to do something, and to make an impact to further the positive. The other reason I don’t think it sparkled so much was because I wasn’t going vertical in my approach.
One aspect of creation that sparkles for me as a musician is time, and timing. There are times when my music is as dead as a doorknob, and then there are other times when it’s like heaven opens and I hear a symphony to play. Those moments matter a lot to me, not just because I feel like I’m in my element, but because it does something to the world.
Worshipers for over a decade have been singing for a new sound to be released in the earth. It’s a big deal. The enemy has tried to make a fake first move in presenting unsubstantiated new sounds like the healing frequencies. But God made His creation with sound. And I think the sound from above can still be used to build creation.
So, I think that might be kinda sorta what this is about, and this website is basically a platform for continuing this trying and failing forward approach, while producing various products based on what I find along a way.
