about

My STELLARSONIC! Ship docked in 2016 to tickle your fricklewoods before departing again on a five year deep inner space voyage in which magickal new morsels were being seeded, watered, and loved on… and now that my Freesian Fields are once again replenished, I wholeheartedly invite you to join me in my RETURN TO PLEASURE!

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who so generously contributed to my RtP Crowdfunder campaign as without your stellarsonic support, I would not have made it through those unexpectedly difficult initial months in particular, and I also wouldn’t have been able to upgrade my studio setup that has completely revolutionised my sound so THANK YOU MOST KINDLY! Also, an extra special Bandcamp thank you to the following digital delighters: A.O.H. von Ende, Manutek, Matthew Wade, John Eric Dark, Steve Duff, Andrew Quirke, Stefan Bittner, Oluv’s Gadgets, Leanne Manfredi, Paul Cichinsky, James Combe, Richard Bristow, Ava Laker and Matthew Laker, Bryan Aldridge, Stephen Pollard, Marcus Johnson, and Gernot Werner Hueller :) The enormous capacity of your collective contributions amount to a rare breed of souls whose faith in something that they could not yet fully fathom or experience but that propelled them to give towards this project knowing that it would eventually bloom is a magick I am very grateful to be in receipt of. Thank you for your Freesian faith in me and what I create. You are integral and exceptional beings.

It goes without saying (though I of course WILL say it and at elongated emotional depths at that, haha!!!) that my friends, Freesian fans, and my family are a source of great love, strength, wisdom, insight and powerful support throughout all of my endeavours in life - I love you all SO much and without the need to list you individually because I know you know who you are and how much you mean to me. Bless you for everything you’ve done for me over these last few particularly challenging and difficult years; I had lost my way and fallen down a hell of a lot and you’ve been there to help guide me back to the light which I dearly appreciate. You are my precious petals x

If you haven’t noticed, the nostalgic splendour of my album design has been so lovingly crafted and curated by an insanely gifted GENIUS designer and dearest cosmic companion of mine - Tom Howell aka Tukka - and there aren’t enough words in the dictionary (or HOXXXtionary as my version venison of the literary bible is called!) to express with enough emphasis and meaning just how much his contribution and he himself mean to me. Your work is lifetimes ahead in it’s symbolism and structure, it’s majesty magicks and within it’s encoded emblematic power, and I know you’re reluctant with compliments but that merely speaks to the artistic and humanitarian humility from which you operate. Your beautiful visions are a blessing upon my Freesian Fields. Thank you so very very kindly for aligning with my timeline tangentials, with my princessly pleasure pursuit, and for being so bloody patient and stalwartly supportive in ALL of my creative questing! Never forget how AWEGASMIC I think you are and how excitingled I am to work on more s’mores with you in this Freesian future! :)

Oh yeah, and who’s that bloke that I’ve been working with for years… what’s his bloody name again?? Oh yeah, that SOULPERSONA fella! All joking aside, he’s been pretty resilient to my stressed out bad moods, my ongoing health issues, my severely open-ended time schedules (taking a bit toooooo long in your studio on mixes that YOU would have finished with record breaking momentum AND production prowess!) and my silly lack of self belief when I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time worrying and mulling over whether or not I’ve managed to make something that’s worth a listen - I’m pretty sure you’ve now totted up enough hours to qualify as a life coach, haha!!! But you are the don juan of the audio spectrum plectrum IMHO (and I know how much you HATE acronyms :D) which is why I trust you with my shit - I couldn’t have done it without your sensible grounded approach, and I wouldn’t have managed without your friendship either… you’re a proper BFFL (see, another acronym for you to hate!) and I’m glad you’re in my FAMALAM (just to finish it off with top level irritation for you, HAHAHA). Bless you Morgan :)

There’s also a VERY special ladybird who I’m pretty sure won’t want to be named (at her behest) so I’m keeping her identity private but she knows who she is… E, you came into my life with angelic empowerment to share with me and a bounty of generosity to gasmically gift me with, and your unwavering and unshakeable belief in me as a singer, musician and producer of music as well as a person that you’ve gotten to know over these past couple of years has brought me SO much hope and joy that has pulled me out of some very dark moments that I’ve struggled to break free from. Your messages in my inbox, your AMAZING parcels sent from far away to my door and your MASSIVE help with my studio and life upgrades have allowed me to make this album what it needed to be. All during some of the most difficult times of your own life at that! You give selflessly and lovingly and I am so glad and grateful to know you. Bless you and thank you sis x

This album might have taken more years to finish than I would have liked… but then again, everything happens in divine timing I feel. That synchronistic combination of words and experienced emotion teamed with the right sonic sweetness and that blessed equipment levelling up all coincided for the purrfect Freesian storm to convalesce from the cocoon. My heart beats the drums steadily within these songs, the blood of my soul’s journey pumps through the bass lines, the lust and the longing and the lovelight I seek sits nestled within potently felt lyrics and vocals and the harmonics of pads and chords that strike memory and fantasy and every member and quiver and sliver of sonorous MUSEical experience I could possibly princessly shapeshift. My bow and arrow are cupid’s curiosity and I hit my HOXXXY target for the utmost loving awareness, the most dedicated endurance of heartfelt heavenliness towards feeling and being a wholeness that cannot be embodied in any other way. My music brings me a power, a peace, a passion and a pleasure that cannot be tangibly identified nor can it be broken. It is me, it is my body mind heart and soul and it is being given to you with the utmost love and care so that you may spark your own return to pleasure. To truly find and nurture yourself in YOUR OWN CREATIONS is a POWERFUL gift… use it wisely, compassionately, and always with integrity and kindness so no matter the turmoils you may face in life, you will always have that solid grounded personal anchor to return home to your special brand of pleasure. You are uniquely beautiful - celebrate your heartfelts with every ounce of joy that you are!

I really do love you and want you to feel empowered and loved by all that you magnificently are. Thank you for choosing to celebrate and participate with me in my own RETURN TO PLEASURE!

I wish you infinite blessings and joy and of course, pleasure :)

Freesia x
