Get on and Shine with Holly Honeychurch
Absolutely loved this set from Cosmic Gate. So many old tunes. I was back in the Opera House in 1999, giving the air some lovin with my outstretched arms. Super duper uplifting melodies with an awesome NYC sky. Happy vibing times, friends.
I was in a cerebral state last night and decided on a new way of picking a movie. I closed my eyes, scrolled for a while, back and forth, then clicked. Shadow in the Cloud came out. I had no idea what to expect. And I liked it like that. It’s a new way of finding a film for me….without my pre-conceived judgements clouding me. I’ll give it ten minutes and if it holds my attention, I’m off. I wasn’t disappointed with this one, despite the low reviews I found afterwards. You’ll love it or you’ll hate it. This is now a cult status film for me about feminism and female strength in the male dominated world of 1943. I loved being constantly surpirsed because I hadn’t seen the trailer. I couldn’t believe where the film went. It just kept getting better and better. Definitely Twilight Zone material. Chlöe Grace Moretz was a total badass and a great actor.
The soundtrack, by Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper, is a beautiful, synthy, 80s style offering and I’m totally and completely in love with it.
So this is my new way of doing films. Exciting. Who knows where it’s going to take me.
For those of you who love Halloween (or have to love Halloween because of the kiddos : ) here are some party cake ideas : )
I was featured in Good Health Magazine. Woo!
This is my new favourite song by Haki R. Madhubuti And Nation - Rain Forest recorded in 1984. It includes the most beautiful poem ever. The soul and passion from the whole track is mind blowing and emotional. I’ve included the beginning. You can find the whole poem here.
Miss Monique’s latest set from Turkey. Here she is smiling in the sunshine. Dance on peeps!
Yay for Cocoa Puff!
It’s Bandcamp Friday - a fab time to be supporting independent artists over on Bandcamp! I’m introducing one of my favourite pieces from La Navigatrice over on Late Nite Harp today. This is Unfurling. May you all be full of smiles today.
My favourite tune right now. Dreamy, funky, ethereal, floaty. Thunder has helped cat napp gain more exposure after it was featured in a pivotal scene of Unorthodox. I’m obsessed. Great series too.
Wild dolphins play catch with their favorite person. A magical story.
4am cycle through the city streets. Silence, followed by early morning robins. I love late night cycles. Just me and the world.
Miss Monique coming at ya with her weekly progressive house set. Lush, deep, soulful grooves in this one and lots of exotic flavours. Very nice vibes and beats tonight.
I’m in one of those moods where I can happily sit and watch 1000 colourful macarons being made by some talented bakers. Oooo and some little mooncake bunnies too.
Thank you to all those who bought my album on Bandcamp, it was super sweet of you and I hope it’s given you some ethereal moments. Here’s a little thank you in the form of a virtual, decadent, chocolate cake to enjoy : ) Wishing everyone a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend!
Putting a call out to anyone who has a cat that purrs. I would love some audio of these cat purrs for my next project. Meows as well…any sounds in fact that are fun and unique to your kitty. A quiet recording environment would help at the other end when editing : ) Exciting!
Really enjoying this starry composition as I sit on my favourite soft spot of warmth listening to late night robins sweetly syrup their song across the sky. Cosmic robins woo!
Dear lovely peeps, my album is officially released. Yay!
Here’s the link to La Navigatrice on Bandcamp. I’ve loved the experience of making it and it’s only just the beginning….
Wishing you a lovely week and a happy Autumn Equinox!
Thanks for your encouragement. Love Holly X
Happy Friday! Here’s my album cover. Woohoo! I love its simplicity. After working on it with Simon (thank you Simon), trying out new ideas, adding bits, going slightly bonkers on fonts and placement, then stripping it all away again, I’ve ended up with something special…
I’m finding this video about Zazu learning to bark softly the sweetest thing right now. Informative too. He’s a very clever and fast doggo. I love his expressions and watching him learn. Then we meet his friend Walle at the end : ) Gorgeously entertaining.
Oh my. Beaker the ducko and his favourite boy. What gorgeousness ❤️
Katla. The moody series I’ve devoured over the last two days. Beautiful landscapes, slow paced. A mysterious, sci-fi noir. I knew very little before watching and it pulled me in immediately. I love the language, the actors, atmosphere, cinematography. Iceland make cool things.
