Poetry by Sarnia de la Mare, Live Readings at the Tale Teller Club #lyrics #safehaven
Why was it always so hot?
She watched from the mezzanine
overlooking the dance floor.
Always so hot.
Sweat dripped from bodies
with their stench of party.
She wished everyone would fuck off
and it would just be her and Seb.
She would meander across the mezzanine naked
and he would play their tunes.
They had so many.
She sighed
Remembering the first time they had met.
Such beauty was rare in a man.
The DJ always gets the girls,
that's the truth, he had said.
Too many damned girls.
That was the problem.
It was time.
Seb saw her and she waved,
he was smiling.
She took the gun out as he watched.
Not smiling now, are you?
She laughed as she raised her arm.
Slowly slowly catchy monkey.
Then,
as an afterthought,
put it in her mouth
and the pulsing sadness of her brain
filled the air
like butterfly wings.

I am off to the recording studio to record this for my next single. Expect something a bit different in the tradition of a protest song.

🎻 iServalan’s Cello: A Symphony in Wood and Wire 🎻
Let’s delve into the enchanting world of iServalan’s cello—a vessel that resonates with both human emotion and digital echoes:
🎻 iServalan’s Cello: A Symphony in Wood and Wire 🎻
The Body:
- The cello’s body is carved from aged spruce and maple, its curves a testament to centuries of craftsmanship.
- The top plate (soundboard) is spruce, chosen for its resonance. It bears the scars of countless performances—a map of memories etched in grain.
- The back, sides, and neck are maple, sturdy yet yielding. They cradle the soul of the music.
Varnish and Patina:
- The varnish—amber, like sun-kissed honey—clings to the wood. It’s a secret recipe passed down through luthiers’ whispered tales.
- The patina tells stories: sweat from fevered concerts, tears shed over lost love, and the gentle touch of iServalan’s fingertips.
F-Holes:
- The f-holes, delicate and precise, channel sound. They’re like portals to other realms—the bridge between the mundane and the ethereal.
- When iServalan draws her bow across the strings, the f-holes breathe, releasing harmonies into the air.
Pegs and Tailpiece:
- The pegs—ebony or rosewood—turn with ancient wisdom. They hold tension, tuning the cello to the heartbeat of the universe.
- The tailpiece, adorned with a silver eye, anchors the strings. It’s said that it watches over the music, guarding its secrets.
Strings:
- The strings—gut or steel—sing their own songs. Each note plucked or bowed is a conversation between iServalan and the cosmos.
- They vibrate, resonating with her every emotion. Joy, sorrow, longing—they all find voice in those slender threads.
Bridge and Soundpost:
- The bridge stands proud, a wooden arch connecting earth and sky. It transfers vibrations from strings to soundboard.
- The soundpost, hidden within, is the cello’s heartbeat. It whispers encouragement during late-night rehearsals and midnight musings.
Scroll and Scrollwork:
- The scroll, a flourish of artistry, crowns the cello’s neck. Its volutes spiral like galaxies, hinting at cosmic origins.
- Scrollwork—subtle vines, stars, or mythical creatures—adorns the edges. Each luthier leaves their mark, a blessing for the musician.
Endpin and Spike:
- The endpin, telescopic and unyielding, anchors the cello to the stage. It’s a lifeline for iServalan, grounding her in the chaos of performance.
- The spike digs into wooden floors, stage after stage. It knows the weight of her dreams.
Case and Rosin Dust:
- The cello’s case—weathered leather or sleek carbon fiber—holds it safe. It’s a cocoon for the instrument’s fragile soul.
- Inside, rosin dust clings to velvet. It’s the residue of countless bows, a testament to iServalan’s dedication.
And there you have it—the essence of iServalan’s cello. When she plays, it’s as if the universe leans in to listen, and time itself holds its breath. 🌟🎶✨

Want to Start a band? Tips form the Tale teller Club about making your dream come true.
Harmony in Motion: A Guide on How to Start a Band
Introduction:
Starting a band is not just about playing music; it's about creating a collaborative space where creativity and passion can thrive. Whether you're a group of friends looking to make music together or individuals seeking like-minded musicians, the journey of starting a band can be both exciting and rewarding. In this guide, we'll walk you through the essential steps to kickstart your musical journey and establish a band that harmonizes well both on and off the stage.
Define Your Sound and Genre: Before you start looking for band members, it's crucial to have a clear idea of the music you want to create. Define your sound, influences, and the genre you want to explore. This will guide your search for compatible musicians and help you build a cohesive musical identity.
Find Like-Minded Musicians: Seek out musicians who share your musical vision and commitment. Attend local open mic nights, music classes, or use online platforms to connect with potential band members. Networking in your local music scene can be a great way to find individuals who are passionate about the same style of music.
Collaborative Songwriting: Encourage open communication and collaboration from the beginning. Songwriting sessions should be a collective effort where everyone's ideas are considered. This not only strengthens the bond within the band but also contributes to a diverse and rich musical repertoire.
Establish Roles and Responsibilities: Clearly define each member's role within the band. This includes musical responsibilities (who plays what instrument), as well as non-musical tasks such as social media management, booking gigs, and handling logistics. A well-defined structure ensures everyone contributes to the band's success.
Rehearsals and Practice: Regular rehearsals are essential for honing your sound and improving as a group. Establish a consistent practice schedule that works for everyone. Use this time not only for playing songs but also for refining your stage presence and addressing any concerns or suggestions from band members.
Create a Demo or Recordings: Invest time in creating a demo or recording that showcases your band's talent. This will serve as a promotional tool when reaching out to venues for gigs or when connecting with potential fans. Quality recordings can make a significant difference in attracting attention to your music.
Build an Online Presence: In the digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial. Create a website or social media profiles for your band. Share updates, photos, and videos to engage with your audience. Platforms like SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or YouTube are excellent for sharing your music with a wider audience.
Book Gigs and Perform: Start booking gigs at local venues, open mic nights, or community events. Performing live not only hones your stage presence but also helps you connect with your audience. Don't be afraid to start small; every performance is an opportunity to grow.
Build a Support System: Surround yourself with a supportive network, including friends, family, and fellow musicians. Attend local music events, collaborate with other bands, and foster positive relationships within the music community.
Stay Committed and Have Fun: Building a successful band takes time and effort. Stay committed to your musical journey, and most importantly, have fun along the way. Celebrate your achievements, learn from challenges, and continue evolving as a band.
Conclusion: Starting a band is an adventure that goes beyond the music itself. It's about creating a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for creating something unique. By following these steps and staying true to your musical vision, you'll be well on your way to establishing a band that not only makes great music but also enjoys the journey together. So, plug in, turn up the volume, and let the journey begin!
