Storm chasers are often described as mad, often driven by an electricity we cannot fathom, see, or wish to be near, for who in their right mind would suffer nature at her most violent and unpredictable, the trail of Broken Hearts & Broken Arrows that are attached to these acrobats of the natural phenomenon, the hunters of the ephemeral but which carries the long-lasting effect on the Earth it strikes.

In Time and a word, we find the sense of new beginnings, we find the division between what was, and what might come next, a four-letter word that creates the fine line between past and the future and in which the moment in between is all we can hope as we focus our senses on change, on altering the narrative of expression that has thus so far guided us.

The divide that was to be seen as mere chasm, is now, by definition, an unassailable ocean. We are expected to cheer for the King, the president, the leader of a nation, as they wear the attire made of gold, whilst all around them are instructed to be thankful they have rags to wear.

Nostalgia was once regarded as a dangerous disease of the mind, an overpowering yearning of regret and sentimentality, actively warned against and sometimes, unfairly, cruelly, the person displaying such curios and tempers of the emotion, would be avoided for want of spreading the feeling as if it was an infection, a sickness that would cause society to become ill.

The line between desire and need is a thin one. Both emotional responses though are linked by the hunger that becomes apparent when the requirement for rest becomes overwhelming, and the craving for an altogether different kind of subsistence is irresistible and crushing.
The same required sense of engulfing consuming power comes when the time to place before the world all that you have been working on, the spirit that has been urging you to have your thoughts, your mind, your voice heard; the belief of your craft against the overthrowing of the need to recuperate and claiming back of your own soul.

What we carefully plan as we sow in the fields is eventually realised on the plate in front of us.
Tamsin Elliott’s realisation of her entrancing debut solo album, Frey, is one born of the fertility of the metaphorical soil she has nurtured her own sound within as part of the demonstratively cool fusion project Solana. It is this planting of ideas and the reaping for the benefit of all who enjoy the taste of her musical wares, that Frey exploration of healing and the process of accepting grief is a milestone of passion, not only for the musician, but for anyone caught in the maelstrom of being in the limbo of modern times, of the effect that insurmountable sorrow heaped upon our collective shoulders has had.

In not one chemistry lesson as a teenager did you ever come across the spectacle of the mix of Angel Dust & Cyanide in a test tube and watching the outcome with steamed up glasses covering your eyes and the asbestos mat ready to catch the flowing liquid in which would result in elaborately drawn conclusions, and awesome results.

The Matrix trilogy can be seen truly as a cultural phenomenon; admittedly one that was at its peak in the first of the films delivered to a film loving crowd wowed by its cinematography and effects, but still a series of films that asked questions of our perceived vision of reality, and how we were, and continue, to be enveloped by the idea of being repressed by a superior mind just to appear that we are indeed in control of our own destiny.

Somethings stand out more, not because of their apparent worth, but because of the effort they use to appear in in our vision.
