Dear friends,
During this weekend’s Art Cafe I had the pleasure to create this soul painting for one of our wonderful backers! Thank you so much to those of you who tuned in and even received some oracle card readings during the livestream.
You can watch a replay here.
We are now on the official home stretch of the project with just over 70 hours to go.

Dear friends and backers,
The multi-dimensionality and interconnectedness of art forms is something that this project is committed to tapping into.
The fantasy author Elyatha Eli has just published a wonderful blog post about the ways my music inspires her work! What an honour - thank you, Elyatha!
"Have you ever wondered where authors find their inspiration? How can they create unseen worlds? Where do their ideas come from? The answer is simple—music is our common ground. It's our escape from reality, the sacred realm where we can unleash our true selves." (Elyatha Eli)
Further on this topic - this Saturday at 3pm BST, I will be hosting an Instagram, Facebook and YouTube livestream Art Cafe where I will be creating one of my backers' soul painting in real time, as well as doing a couple of sample card pulls and answering questions about ‘Sanctify My Love’. In the background, we’ll have vintage vinyl setting the atmosphere. If you are interested to find out more about the soul painting, oracle card and other rewards, please come along - plus, it would be great to e-meet you and have a little chat! Simply show up to one of the above-listed platforms at 3pm BST; or watch a replay later.
Finally, we are now on the final home stretch of this project with exactly 7 days to go! My instinct tells me we will make it, but any help in spreading the word and referring fellow music & immersive experience fans to the page is hugely appreciated! If you referred a backer, please let me know so I can thank you properly.
With love and gratitude,
Monelise
Dear friends,
In honour of the full moon upon us tonight, I would like to share the opening lyrics to the first song created for this album:
Drops of
Moon dew
Pearls fall
From the sky
Selene in
Full bloom
Straddled
By light.
A story of the transformational cycles of nature - often beyond any imaginable form of control. Of the “silent scream” inside. Of unlocking the muted voice and giving it a stage to sing on. Silencio!
This song came upon me like the full moon - powerful, undeniable, and almost completely of its own accord. Music is a special kind of sorcery!
I can’t wait for you to hear it.
Meanwhile, enjoy everything that the moon has in store for us.
Love,
Monelise
Dear friends and backers,
What's your favourite song? Would you like me to play it for you? It's now possible!
I'm really excited to announce I have just added TWO new limited edition rewards to the Kickstarter!
1. Monelise Cover of Your Song of Choice:
Delivered as an mp3 or video, along with a personalised message for you! I do not sing covers very often, so this is a rare opportunity to have me interpret your favourite song. Theremin optional ;)
2. Personalised, Hand-Painted "Soul Mark":
Some of you have been wanting to sample the personalised soul painting and check out what you might get. This is the perfect opportunity! I will hand-paint a bookmark based on your personal energy *or* your Monelise song of choice. Want to see what "Silver Lake" or "Insane" would look like in watercolour and have them accompany you as you read your favourite books? No problem :)
If you have any questions regarding how to add these items to your pledge, comment down below, send me a message on Kickstarter to get a hold of me at [email protected].
I am so excited to make this album for you! Thank you so much for your help in making it happen!
Love,
Monelise
