Transcript

Bear with this episode. It's going to be a rough ride! But when I make raw recordings live they are going to be very raw indeed! Just as freesong is. I have not had a computer for awhile. Hopefully that problem is about to end.

But I also just learned how to use just my browser to make a broadcast on Substack. The Substack app would not allow me to record.

This recording is like old folk field recordings because it will have all sorts of problems. Listen through them this time. The recordings will improve as I learn. I want you to know that it is a good thing to play rough with music, so that you learn what works well. That is true of any creativity.

I hope you enjoy the changes in the format as I continue the series.

Thank you for listening!

Discussion about this podcast

Sana Sparks: Freesong: Just Breathe and Sing

How wordless music can free the mind. Freesong is a vocal music that uses vocables instead of words, so that the singer can concentrate only on making sounds that express feeling, not ideas. Freesong is a musical form of meditation, freeing the mind from distractions.Vocables are part of the musical sound, nothing more, nothing less. Freesong is zen like because it is created and exists only in the moment it is sung. It exists exactly as it should, in that moment, no matter how rough or smooth it might be. It turns breath into something wonderful. When that is understood, the music has a power to it most singers feel they can never own. That of their authentic, unique, voice.

It can also be used to soothe those who can no longer form and use words, whether they have dementia, aphasia, or other brain or mind issues. Music that can heal. Music is a separate form of communication, that can be used long after language fails.
