"Blind Era", hands down. I cannot vote in the poll anymore, so I am commenting here. :)

Thank you, your ‘vote’ is noted. 🫶

Why is it that you cannot take the poll?

It worked on the app! Ha! That's really odd.

Just wondering. It’s not important but it’s good to know. Have a great day! ☀️

Thank you! You have a great one as well!

I don't know. I kept clicking on it, but it wouldn't register. I was on my desktop. I'll try on the app right now, though.

Personally Decomposing Manners is the best poem as an introduction to a new reader and potential buyer. But.. Blind Era sounds better. My opinion of course is that Blind Era seems more like you're trying to produce songs. Not poetry or spoken word. Its a bit misleading. That being said after hearing Blind Era I really wanted more attention to Decomposing Manners in sound scape. lol.

I know exactly what you mean. 🙌 With my tools, it’s much easier to produce “songs” than poetry readings. I don’t try to be a songwriter or a musician, which is why I call them soundscapes, not songs or music.

I appreciate your take on this, Cassani.

Good Work, I prefer Decomposing With Manners, but I also liked Butterfly as a close first (all 3 are substantial). However, for me, the beats in Butterfly distract too much from your voice and words. If you still want them in there, you might consider adjusting the volume down on them.

Just an old woman's POV. 🦋🌹

Oh. I just saw it isn't your voice, that you're using an app. Will it let you control volume in separate settings?

Sam Oldman's avatar

Hi Ritagail!

In my opinion, there are pretty good studio controls, but don’t take my word for it. I’m not an expert on this part. 😎

You have a beautiful voice.

Sam Oldman's avatar

Oh.. Poetry is mine, but the voice is not. I use Suno to create the soundscape.

Thank you for commenting Albatina. 🫶

I write in my journal it turns into an article a song maybe even an audio reflection with ambient sounds which sometimes all leads me to a book but love the creativity. I wrote about how I’m a kaleidoscope things come in and they come out in many forms I have songs embedded in some of my posts as well if you ever wanted to check out my backlog doing everything with a smile…lol
