Grab your headphones, turn up your speakers, and press play! Today we share with you 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦, a compilation of original songs, sounds, and meditations created by Asian American women and non-binary artists and musicians. Arriving amidst a period of collective trauma and heightened xenophobic violence, 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 offers listeners a refuge for contemplation, grief, and growth.
“During the pandemic period, so many people gravitated to meditation and mindfulness practices, which are often rooted in Asian traditions such as qigong and ayurveda. 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 sheds much-needed light on how these are not merely trends, but instead come from rich cultural histories. By deepening this understanding, we can find healing for ourselves and our society.” – Adriel Luis, APAC’s curator of digital and emerging practice
𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 demonstrates how Asian Americans have played a critical role in America’s notion of mindfulness and healing arts. Commissioned at the beginning of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, APAC spent almost three years collaborating with these musicians, artists, and cultural practitioners to vividly capture how an intensely challenging moment could lead to personal discovery and collective healing. 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦, which received critical support from the @Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative, adds complexity to the greater landscape of meditation and healing arts tools by centering perspectives that have long been marginalized.
𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 is available as an album across digital music streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music, Pandora, and Amazon Music. Throughout 2023, APAC will unveil additional ways for the public to interact with 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦. Click the link in our bio to listen and learn more!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well Frigidus and E had Kibi and my brain went off that it can’t just be her running around so here we are asldkfj
Info under the cut if anyone wants
Kibi (She/her, 19) is Frigidus and E’s adopted daughter. She came from clone verse (where Toby is from (she’s a clone of Nya + Cole)). While she’s more interested in pursuing her father’s programming and inventing work, she was also determined to bring the ice element back into her family line. She challenged Zane to a duel for it when she turned eighteen and he agreed, the element moving to her when she won. Sadly, just a few months later her father was murdered, and while trying to take over his work she’s also being pestered to learn how to use her elemental power. She’s a bit chaotic in her pursuits but always wants to help others out.
Roxane (She/her, 15) is Cole, Pixal and Zane’s adopted daughter, also from clone verse. (She’s a clone of Shade + Jacob) She was rescued as an infant after the overlord was destroyed, but her body didn’t form properly, leaving her without a leg, half an arm, and no eyes. Somehow she managed to stick through it and Cole adopted her when she was three. She eventually learned to use her father’s element to see, and her godfather (Karlof) redid her prosthetic arm to a more mineral rich metal so she could move it around. While young she’s a very capable fighter, and though she tries to be friendly and optimistic she has a sharp temper.
Hiroki (He/him, 17) was one of a number of kids Kai began taking care of after [spoiler] caused so much destruction and causalities across the country. While Kai worked to get most of the kids new homes, Hiroki kind of stuck to his hip. Their similar personalities often had the other ninja joking they were actually related. Eventually while training under Kai, Hiroki picked up the element of fire. Though a bit of a shock he’s excited about it, wanting to do his best to master it. His energetic personality can be a bit of a wear on his teammates though, and his impulsive decisions often start fights.
Fritz (He/They, physically 10 but nindroid) was built by his parents Echo and Jay. Jay wasn’t sure if he’d inherit the lightning element or not, so he wasn’t entirely prepared when it happened and Fritz’s own powers short circuited his systems. Now more built for it he uses it probably too often, even just to add some flare when he plays guitar. While a cheerful personality he’s also fairly relaxed, sometimes trying to skip out on training to do something more fun. He has technical smarts, but not the motivation to pursue engineering like his dad.
Kazuki (She/They, 22) is a young oni who sought to be taught by Lloyd (because oh my gosh celebrity). During training Lloyd realized she had the potential to inherit the power of creation, though she hasn’t quite gotten there yet. Though she seems older, by oni years she’s barely a teen, which often shows in her personality. Her glowing optimism often make people assume she’s dumb or naive, when really she just wants to pursue the peaceful option. Despite her positive attitude, however, her temper is still that of an oni, and she can be rather destructive when angered. She does her best to manage her anger when it arises, but it doesn’t always work out.
Ana (She/her, 16) is a constricti serpentine who was under Kai’s care until Nya adopted her and her other two adopted siblings. With three elemental moms it was never certain who might end up with what element, and she was a bit surprised when she gained the ability of water. Though her tail makes combat training a bit difficult, she can move fast, and even faster in the water now. She’s close to her friends and family, but always uncertain around strangers. Among her siblings she’s the oldest as well, so she tries to be the mature one in any group setting. Though her siblings (Don (fangpire (master of form)) and Cyan (human (master of poison)) are quite a handful she loves them a lot and will snap anyone who harasses them in half.
#sibillasocs#sibillasart#ninjago#next gen#absolutely none of these kids inherited their powers from bloodline and i'm not changing my mind#ana is somewhat based on a sea snake yes#kibi's hair started going white when she got the ice element#roxane and fritz are cousins yes they often act like siblings#hiroki is not officially kai's kid he pretends like this doesn't bother him

WLW/NBLW Relationship Master List:
I am literally always struggling to find WLW/NBLW content, so I decided to put together a list of every WLW/NBLW Relationship I could find!

Life changes and priorities left me without much time to write about music in 2020. Despite that, Bandcamp Fridays have rekindled my love of discovering new music, connecting with and supporting artists directly, and engaging more deliberately as a listener. In a way, not writing about music allowed me to more fully do all of those things.
Here’s a list in alphabetical order of the various works that have moved me in some significant way. I’d planned to write a blurb about each one, but since that is taking some time, and we’re already into January, I thought I’d do this differently. Instead of linking to reviews from the past year, I will add links to this list as I add reviews after the fact. Many of them are already written, but it’s grown in scale to the extent that I don’t think it would make sense to publish them all in line here.

The Ways Media Impacts Sex Positivity and the Roles Women Play: From a Young Age to Adulthood
The textbook Gendered Lives: Intersectional Perspectives, written and edited by Gwyn Kirk and Margo Okazawa-Rey, features their own feminist pieces and others written by a collection of different authors. The piece “Sexuality”, by Kirk and Okazawa-Rey, focuses on how “heteropatriarchy pushes heterosex”, as well as how media impacts sex positivity and the roles women play, starting at a young age and through adulthood. Kirk and Okazawa-Rey highlight the role of fairy tales and the ways they instill basic heterosexual lessons, “there’s a man (Prince Charming) and a woman who have to overcome an obstacle of some kind to reach the happy ending… typically, a woman pays a price to find her prince.”[1] The authors are bringing to light how, even at a young age, society indoctrinates these expectations, therefore perpetuating heteronormativity and gender roles for women to follow. This creates an idea that women need to be delicate, modest, straight, cisgender, and adhere to the beauty standard, which completely invalidates the experiences of women who do not fall under those characteristics , as well as can impact self-esteem and the way women view relationships because these stories show women that they need to be saved and pursued by a man to be happy.
Additionally, in her book Bad Feminist, Roxane Gay criticizes and breaks down the popular trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James. She considers this story a "modern-day fairytale" due to the malevolent aspects. In this series, the main character, Ana, finds herself drawn to Christian Gray, a predatory and wealthy CEO. Gay points out that Ana "consistently clarifies her overall disinterest in serving as Christian's submissive," and "has very reasonable expectations and boundaries," but Christian "willfully ignores" them "and she allows him to"[2]. Gay explains that "when considering the overwhelming popularity of this trilogy, we cannot simply dismiss the flaws because the books are fun and the sex is hot."[3] Gay argues that this contemporary version "reinforces pervasive cultural messages women are already swallowing about what they should tolerate in romantic relationships"[4] to be loved. This perpetuates the idea that women must be the ones to accommodate their partners to be worthy of love. As pointed out by Gay, Christian did not have respect for Ana’s boundaries, but she allowed him a ignore them, so that she could be in a relationship with him. This reinforces patriarchal control through malevolence, where the conqueror, in this case Christian Gray, violates the boundaries of his partner (Ana). Instead of being in complete control of her sexual experiences, Ana gets cornered into either being compliant or not in a relationship at all with Christian. In this series, Christian’s expectations are met, while Ana’s are disregarded most likely because she feels that she needs to be the one to change to please her partner.
From childhood into adulthood, women are met with these expectations of benevolence and malevolence. Beginning in childhood, this idea of prince charming/a rescuer (benevolence) and continuing into adolescence/adulthood, an idea of a conqueror/one who violates boundaries (malevolence). Women are constantly exposed to these expectations of what they should be for a romantic partner, which creates negative self-image and view of sexual expression.
What are your thoughts on the messages fairytales send children?
How do you think these stories represent women? Are they inclusive of all identities?

La Datcha 2 : la parabase
Masque de carton et peinture, fil élastique.
Cardboard mask and paint, elastic thread.
27 x 42 cm / 10,62 x 16,53 in
Unique
Depuis 2012 et parallèlement à des projets visant à une pratique de la peinture dans un champ élargi (Ballets Barbares, La Datcha 2), Renaud Bézy poursuit obstinément dans son atelier de Montmartre un travail de peinture autonome, portant sur la tension entre peinture et tableau, sur l’ambivalence de ses inspirations (de l’esthétique rustique au mauvais goût), leur dimension politique, sur la peinture comme complexité et célébration colorée.
Avec des formats qui deviennent plus importants, ces toiles se sont confrontées à la question de l’installation, avec des dispositifs de « peintures-paravents » se dressant dans l’espace, autonomes par rapport au mur. Dans ce travail, les natures mortes cèdent la place à des masques africains et bientôt à des portraits.
Depuis 2014, intérêt croissant pour des projets artistiques débordant le cadre de l’exposition, créant une porosité entre expérience du quotidien et expérience esthétique. Participations au Bazaar Compatible Program (Paul Devautour, Yilan Xi), au City Cafe (Julie Vayssière), à Stand 6 (Julie Vayssière), aux convention aR* — noté aussi [conv-ar] — réunions discrètes (sinon secrètes!) d’artistes sur le modèle des convention de fans (type convention Star Wars).
* dans ce projet initié par Philippe Blanc, Etienne Cliquet et Paul Devautour, il n’y a ni public, ni exposition, tout le monde est participant.

Carry-on painting, 2018
Pigments sur toile de cotton [batik] et sac en moustiquaire
Pigments on cotton fabric [batik] and bag
120 x 46 x 3 cm / 46.8 x 17.94 x 1.17 in
Unique
Incorporating divagations, extractions, references, Radu Comsa’s ‘transcriptions’ (from one material to another, from one shape to another, from one conceptual frame to another) are referring to the art object as a form of intellectual replica of the artist’s own design of thoughts. His diagrammatic transcriptions (plates of cast concrete or mixed-media painting-objects informed by his interest in modernist architecture, concrete poetry, and atonal music) operate as visual morphemes expected to collide and further release extra meaning.
With his most recent painting-series - «Golden Ratio» - the artist tries to transform the quantitative rate indicators of arithmetic, the science of numbers, into qualitative colour-tastes. He uses methods doser to modern technological solutions, such as printing, the chromo-phototype, or serigraphy. Despite all appearances, he paints his work by hand, with extreme attention, similarly to the technique of batik painting. He disregards traditional painterliness and uses not an oily, mixed paste, but touches his canvas with a sublimated, more conceptual colour vision: he paints the diluted but unmixed, pure primary colours in a set proportion over one another, the colour-derivating process coming into being by colour-shifting, chromatic aberration.
Radu Comsa’s works has been included in exhibitions including among others Arken Museum, Copenhagen; Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Varsaw; Mucsarnok / Kunsthalle Budapest, Budapest; Marianne Boesky, New York; Peles Empire, London; Trafo Gallery, Budapest; Spazio A, Pistoia; Lucie Fontaine, Milan & Bali; Prague Biennial & Timisoara Biennial.

YEAR OF THE BUTTERFLY
previous years:
A SONG THAT DEGRADES EACH TIME YOU PLAY IT :: 2018
A CHURCH AND JOHN LENNON’S “IMAGINE” :: 2017
SIKH DEVOTIONAL MUSIC :: 2016
SPOOKY BLACK :: 2015
this year:
I’ve spent the past few months working on a book that I’ve always wanted to write but never figured I’d make the time for. At a really basic level, it’s about listening to music with friends. A couple weeks ago, I devoted a few days to reading a stack of books and articles about the emotional experience of music. They were written by philosophers, critics, cognitive scientists, historians. I took from them two overarching questions. First, what does it mean to assign a piece of music a feeling, like “happy” or “sad?” Is the song itself “sad,” or does it just model a kind of sadness proximate to how we feel? What elements of a song do this? The fraying of a voice? Minor keys? Tempo? Is it all a trick of memory? None of the answers really satisfied me, since music is such an intimate thing. A song makes us feel a way for reasons that are often either blindingly obvious or remote and mysterious. An expert can tell you that humans are wired to feel joy when a certain configuration of notes are struck in tandem, but maybe it just reminds you of looking at the front door.
The other question was whether music itself facilitates any unique emotional possibilities--a mode of feeling that we can’t get anywhere else. Music doesn’t mimic the real world, it doesn’t make arguments. One writer suggested that the thrill of music was its capacity to remind you, foremost, that music can thrill you. In essence, each time we hear something new and feel something, we are being reminded of all the times we’ve felt this way before. We’re living in the echo of a former enchantment. Maybe you’ll hear it again, process it, assign it a genre or context, and the mystique evaporates. But music is one of those things that doesn’t happen on our time. We don’t stand in front of it and train our gaze on this quadrant or that. We don’t flip back to make sure we didn’t miss something. You can’t slow it down as it is happening, you merely let it happen.
In the spring, the Museum of Chinese in America in Manhattan showed “The Moon Represents My Heart,” an exhibition I worked on with MOCA’s curators, Herb and Andrew. The basic idea was to look at all the ways music had enriched immigrant life, from early opera troupes touring America’s Chinatowns to karaoke bars, church choirs, and after-school violin lessons, fifties doo-wop trios to garage punks and self-taught dance music producers. There’s no legible tradition of Chinese American music so we just wanted to present it as a textured and everyday thing--the experience of the fan could be as legitimate as that of a Mando-pop superstar. While working on the show, people would often ask me for a playlist, but I didn’t really have any to share. It wasn’t really about the music itself, which could sound derivative or amateur to some. It was about the fact that they sought to express themselves through music, in contexts that made them outliers and oddballs. I came to love all the music in our show because of that second-hand thrill--that sense that these moments had been deeply meaningful to everyone in the room.
You can hear it in the voice of Stephen Cheng, who ended up being the show’s most memorable star. He put out a rocksteady gem in the sixties and then spent the next decade in New York trying to get the Dragon Seeds, his Chinese “folk-rock” band, off the ground. Cheng died years ago, but Andrew found his children, who brought some reels of unreleased music to the museum. I remember staring at them, wondering what was on them. It was a kind of anticipation and wonder that I often miss, when the operative feeling I associate with music-listening on the internet is the frenzy of opening and closing windows, clicking links, proving my humanity to a captcha.
Stephen’s singing wasn’t great, but it was perfect. His version of “Yesterday,” all warbly and over-the-top, has now supplanted the original for me. Somehow, we played some of Stephen’s songs on the radio, including one about butterflies and love. Somehow, one of the people listening was a butterfly expert, and he was about to marry another butterfly expert. Who knew such a song was possible, the groom-to-be told me. Stephen was too obscure to be properly forgotten. Or maybe his song was just dormant all these years. It awaited just the right listener, and now, over forty years later, he would get his propers, sandwiched somewhere between the vows and Kool and the Gang, a couple minutes of people scratching their heads, searching for the right smile, saying Can you believe this? to one another.
