💽 🌸 hello again dear netizens. 🌸 💽

For 2025.08.08 I found a chance to finally release... an actual vinyl album! ♡~

There are 8 copies available, and this is a really special tiny experiment of a record for me :)

It also includes a piece for, and sketch of a piece for, dear fellow Newgroundlian, @bleak-creep when she invited me to compose a song for her incredible piece of storytelling, "Homecoming" : https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/924283

Here are some of the bits and pieces of it, already on NG:

• https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1430587 – "At Home in a Hotel Bed"
• https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1459347 – "Song for the Isolated (Thank you and Merry Christmas, Dear Sakamoto)
• https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/effievision/record-design-the-first-sines-of-healing-hz-2025-08-08 – The specially made album art ♡

The concept of it began about 3 years ago when I was trying to figure out what the next step for both the Effie Vision project, and... the failings of the attempts at very important things in my life, how to finally do anything to address or overcome the pain of them... while wrapping my last album, the dark "Anthropocene Catastrophe", knew the next album would be called "healing" or "healing Hz" or something of the sort~

then I recognized in body and in life, the first signs of HEALING hurts, is hurts. and it hurts. ~ tada.

It became this... a small thing. Very tender, specific. With bits of hope, thematically, hoping to recognize that both healing and hurt happen in cycles.

Tracks 1-7 are all on Side A, and, the special 'infinite' track is the only one on side B, so, if you have an 'auto return' turntable, you can use it as a meditative journey as long as you need :)

Be well, dear people.
