The Song of the Banyan Tree
@jasonsinghthing, the Mozart (or maybe Brian Eno) of Biosonfication, attaches electrodes to our banyan tree to record its biofeedback and turn into a soundtrack for Tishani Doshi to dance to @oliviafraserart's British Council show, A Journey Within, opening Thursday

Getting back on the Bluesky horse with a pic of the beach this week. Morning swims unknot, dissolve and distance, and make it easier to do what you have to do.

Nevir shal Ich 'farewell' sigh

And cause thee sorowe
