Vogu MIA #89

Summer's Lovers

Hi, I go by Parrott. Im a 26 year old visual artist and musician from Seattle.

You may know me for my visual work. I've been creating on web3 for nearly 3 years as an artist on SuperRare, NiftyGateway and more.

What you may not know is that Ive been a music producer for more than half my life. Music has been my passion, my language and my truest expression of myself for as long as I can remember. 

I first started producing in fifth grade, my parents bought me an old desktop with a bunch of cracked software on it and there I began tinkering with noise (it wasnt music yet). 
We didnt have wifi, cable or video games growing up - so everyday after school I would find myself at my computer trying to make something that sounded like how I saw the world.

Over the years I had a few releases on some record labels, went on a few tours, played some festivals and even got to open up for some of my biggest inspirations - but I never found a way to survive off just my creativity alone. 
That is until 2020 when I found some of my life long dreams coming true through my visual art. 

The success happened so quickly and seemingly overnight, that both my public identity and the way I navigated the world changed - I was no longer Parrott the Producer, I was now Parrott the Artist. 

With the success, I found new struggles, new stressors and an ever hungry market for my art. This effectively killed my ability to create anything related to what I was then putting out. I felt watched, expectations were high and I became alone and isolated. 
I poured this into the only creative outlet I felt I had left - music. 
No one seemed to care about my music anymore, just my art - and this let me write music just for myself, for the first time since I was a kid. It was liberating and I wrote albums worth of material. 

These songs come from pain, triumph, loss and growth. These songs are honest, created for myself - and Im more proud of these than anything else Ive ever created in my life. 
I plan on releasing them slowly over the next year and invite you all to participate with me in this journey.
I cant begin to describe how excited (and nervous) I am to share this part of myself with the world again. 

This first song Summers Lovers is a love song. 
Its a warm breeze on a mid-august night. 
Scorched grass pricking your feet. 
The smell of hot concrete. 
An embrace of a lover that sends butterflies to your belly. 
A kiss that hints at a summer that never ends.

Forever onward, 
Parrott

THE ARTIST"S STUDIO

enkindle

enkindle commemorates multi-style cellist Kaitlyn Raitz"s first anniversary in web3. Thank you, collectors. 

This powerful AI art piece speaks to the tragedy of the 27 Club of artists who died at the age of 27.  In the piece, mushrooms are used as a sign of regeneration, life and death. The mushrooms are colorful and vibrant, representing life and growth. However, they are also surrounded by an aura of darkness, representing death. The overall effect is a powerful and haunting reminder of the cycle of life and death.

Drift

I love the unique timbre of a felted piano. Placing felt between the hammers and strings of a piano changes the instrument"s tone, accentuating its percussive quality and bringing out subtle resonances.

I wanted to highlight that ethereal sound in Drift. The song is composed of changing patterns that create a rhythmic flow. The meditative ostinato moves into a more percussive section before receding into its daydream. I wanted the two contrasting ideas to blend together, with one drifting into the other.

My music features repeating melodic ideas that gradually layer and develop creating a hypnotic energy and a contemplative ambiance. 

I recorded Drift on a Kohler & Cambell at Christopher Lippincott"s studio in East Nashville.

Haunting with brightness,  
Flow achieved.  
Hold on tight,

When I'm With You

When Im with you, 
The gnashing of my shadow rests, 
In its place is a small glimmer. 
A candle that burns twice as bright, 
As twin flames dance throughout the night. 
When I"m with you,
I dont fear us, 
I fear having something to lose.
I dont fear the light, 
I fear the silhouettes it casts across the room. 
As much as I fear myself, 
I love you.

Adora sits at her workstation. The harsh glow of corrupted screens illuminate her frantic face. The chaotic data streams pulse with a sickly energy, mirroring the distress of one of Teragen"s creations writhing in the shadows. Its form flickers with electricity, threatening to unleash a catastrophic surge.

Warning signals scream out, a dire reminder of the danger of losing control of the genetically-engineered monster. Adora"s fingers fly across her keyboard with feverish intensity, hunting for the root of the corruption before it"s too late.
