Guess its time to sort a pedalboard. My fireplace mantel just ain’t transportable and a bit cluttered 🤡

WEB from III EP

Caught in the web of illusions, obductions, paper tiger constructions
Our daily destructions
Turning back time with the click of a finger
A flicker that lingers longer than fiction ever could
Or even ever should ...

Even the most intense melody, aggressive beat or orchestration requiring concentration is a kind of meditation.

My mind is dancing along with the notes on the page, keeping one eye on the conductor, or preparing to fill the next hook with emotion, or embracing the synergy of band mates... When my mind is full of music there is little room for the worries.

One of my many past incarnations. My darling frien

One of my many past incarnations. My darling friend @misspiaandersen recently reminded me of this fun and funny day with the lovely Scott Roper and his camera. #pickup And hey @dodgydeluxe - I loved your sexy beast of a truck 🤘🏼

I'm really loving playing with tech animation agai

I'm really loving playing with tech animation again. Great to dive into programs I used in art school but didn't have time to really develop. This was after a 3D head rendering exploration. The time to work on every keyframe is both torture and meditative geek joy. Blender shows a few views, some looked accurate. I hope others don't! hahaha! I have a little scar under my chin which looks like a huge wound here ... the rest looks pretty spot-on 😂

I talk more about my process and my random 3am mind wonderings in my Patreon page. No huge benefit to supporting my Patreon (What a sales pitch) except your $1 helps me buy new bass strings, makes me want to connect with you in a more personal way than I do here in public and inspires me to keep documenting my process and thinking more about what I'm doing. Oh and you get a discount on my merch.

Here’s my page and it’s linked from my bio: https://www.patreon.com/posts/50441466

I'm doing a vid editing job where I head into an office. With people. And stationery. It's been years since I've gone into an office. I fear I may be that ‘quirky' person... I said to the manager of a comedian that his client is one of my faves and I would like to bounce him on my lap and pat his head. Not sure what is appropriate these days 😂🤷‍♀️

Cos I like oddball arty things, I've made a hard copy (paper) zine to accompany my EP, III, that's out today. It's a bit like the old school liner notes on vinyl jackets.

It's at https://safarilee.com/product/iii-ep-zine-booklet & in my bio link. Free postage in Aus, $5 everywhere else.

Printing is in a fortnight, but I'll send you a download link for the digital EP straight away (well, as soon as I hear the phone bing to say you've ordered). This means you could be listening to my tunes and evoking freaky lucid dreams tonight - even before the EP is out! xs 🖤🦉🐱

Every day is International Dog Day when you have a fun boy like Barry. My life is so much brighter, more adventurous and quite hilarious. And he even tolerates that I made a jumper out of the same furry fabric as his blanket. 🐶🥰@barry_maneilow #internationaldogday #bestfriends
