Ode to Sound

Published: April 3, 2024, 6:38 p.m.

KP says sweet nothings about the great love of her life: SOUND.\xa0

A shared moment and meditation: recorded at 4AM in Athens Greece with the window open as the rain fell, gazing at the Athenian mountains aka: former home of the Gods. Use this episode like you would a meditation app: come back to it when you need a moment of peace. Take out the meditation pillow. Play it when you\u2019re taking psychedelic drugs. Use it to relax during your break at work. Play it with a group of friends on a road trip. Play while you take a bath. Half ambient music, half guided meditation, half transcendental experience across the space-time continuum.\xa0

Don't forget to DONATE to Mermaid Palace <3 We need your dollars to keep making feminist sound art!

In this episode:\xa0

Zeus [from KP: this was not staged. the moment I mentioned his name, he threw a thunderbolt and I happened to be recording. I share the moment AS IS.]

The apartment of the badass artist and feminist Doreen Toutikian (check out her work! For pix of her gorgeous pad: follow KP on insta @kaitlinprest).\xa0

An audience in LA singing with KP:\xa0 the premiere of this performance, originally commissioned by the On Air Festival 2019. (thanks Scott and Jemma!).\xa0

An audience in Milan singing with KP:\xa0 the reason she was in Europe! (thank you to the friends who came all the way to Milan to see the piece: Juj, Ali, Rosa, Ariel and Doreen. Thank you Sarah, Martina and Andrea from Chora Media, and to the opera singers who practiced in the conservatory as KP walked in to do her sound check).
