Meditative March Moon: The Rooftop Sessions

​Step onto the rooftop for an immersive, one-take journey through the transition of the seasons. Recorded under the glow of the March moon, this session explores the space between a harsh winter and the burgeoning momentum of spring.

​In this episode, we dive into the "Moonlight Mastermind" workflow, the resilience required to stay prolific, and the evolving symbiosis of the Silicon and Soul philosophy. It’s an intimate reflection on growth, the City of Creatives community, and the power of finding clarity in the quiet hours of the night.

​Designed as a read-and-listen immersive experience, this session invites you to find your own "Soul Ascension" as we map out the blueprint for what's next.

Episode 17 is a recorded walk journal where I figure out in real time how to get a better outdoor recording with my new mic Rhode Wireless Me. I realized two major things I learned. Project my voice and walk on smoother surfaces. Once my breath and my footsteps found a harmony with my Outdoor Canvas the poetry flowed organically. This was the first Monday of Spring Forward and there was a cool crisp smell in the air as I moved intentionally in the spirit of progression.

This episode I go through the multiple create brands underneath the umbrella of P.O.P. PRESENTS. My focus has been loving and investing in my craft.

P.o.p.

I decided to do a podcast doing a mic check on my Rode Wireless ME while I was in bed, under the covers looking at a projected full moon while the real full was outside but it was too cold to go out there. I was pleased with the quality of the sound and I liked my spontaneous streams of thought.

What is a Sonic Painting?

A Sonic Painting is when I realized that my voice is an instrument. An instrument like a guitar, a saxophone. Or even a paintbrush. The Sonic painting is my podcast. My podcast is the sound of a writer.

I used to rap, recite spoken word and even sing and play guitar. Now I'm in the season of mindful monologues with music. This is an organic progression of where life and art has taken my pen and my voice. I hope you all enjoy it , leave a comment and I hope that this episode brings you inspiration and a good vibration.

This episode is the beginning of my Moonlight Mastermind series. I've done other recordings but they're unreleased. The week or a full moon is a frequency that I can't even explain but there's something about going on to my outside in the middle of the night and my rooftop is saturated in the lunar glow. Instead of high noon it's my midnight high.

It's become my monthly flow state because every time I press record on a full moon night the episode writes it myself. I had the theme in my head many months before I recorded any episode in this series. Moonlight at Midnight is featured at the end of Ep. 12 and is featured at the beginning and end of Ep. 11. Let me know what you thought in the comments.

What's good, everyone? This is P.o.p. Presents. And I'm P.O.P. Also known as Walter IV. And this is a special episode.

Am recording live. On a full moon night on my rooftop. And this is the first time that I'm recording. On my lavalier mic. That I have attached to my shirt. And while I'm recording. Looking at that beautiful full moon? I'm on my. I'm walking on my Walkpad. And if you don't know what a Wattpad is? That's a treadmill without the bars.

So?

I'm doing a test. I'm doing a mic check. And a podcast at the same time. Isn't that some great multitasking? I'm not even going to tell you how long I had this mic, but it takes me forever to do things, but. Guess what? We're here.
