Vive la Fête

Today marks the anniversary of the late James Baldwin’s birthday - an essayist, novelist, and playwright whose brilliance and eloquence is greatly admired. Created a mixtape to honour his legacy - Imagining it would be played on or after midnight while potentially enjoying one of Baldwin’s favourite cognacs. It’s also a special gesture to other wonderful artists & amazing storytellers who are likely celebrating on this date as well.

Shredder ;))

Shredder is not just the name of a cool TMNT cartoon series character, but also an apt description for gifted music collaborator, Leong Chan. He’s pictured here shredding one of Cat’s guitars in a laid back music jam; However will be doing some proper studio sessions during this year.

Labyrinth

Acquired the vinyl soundtrack to this iconic film that is always great for a rewatch. Reviewing things (or videos) from the recent past can be illuminating to discover; maybe a new one amongst the older. 00 Agent skills always handy too :))

Good Vibes

Good vibes, like music or authenticity can be developed incrementally, with some warm-hearted fun in between :)

I Know What I Did Last Summer

Amazing visual artist, Mito Elias outdoor jamming with Cat last summer. Mito played around 10 of his fantastic and unusual instruments that day.

This summer however, some rare and wonderful cosmic influences have occurred that are gracefully, and gradually unfolding; in lieu of this, do no harm is the new motto for the year & approach to things for this musical kitten. Building trust takes time :)
