Thank you for all you share with us. I have been rather quiet but know that your music often plays in my studio while I am pottering about. I love that it fills my space without preventing me from thinking and making.

Enjoy your well deserved break.

And thank you also for sharing that beautiful poem!

This might be my favorite of the desert songs. It feels like both a fitting end to this collection and an open door to whatever comes next for this newsletter.

We will miss your contemplative essays and haunting music, but you must follow your instincts into your next chapter.

This latest piece is so clearly a closing of a door and a pivot to the future.

As you have time, please drop a line to keep your devoted community in the loop re your new adventures.

My best, always.

Thank you, hw. Your careful listening and kind support have been so important to me. I can't thank you enough. I will certainly be in touch as I go along. Sending my best to you, too.

It’s been such a gift to receive your music over the years. Thank you for this newsletter and sharing your creativity with us, it’s been a welcome respite, a calming space in a world so full of noise ♥️

Fog Chaser's avatar

Thank you, Kerani — your presence here has always been so wonderful, and I feel grateful for the support you've given me. As you know, parenting becomes so much more consuming as these little ones get bigger — and more than anything I really need to just exist in that space for a while. Thanks again!

So nice to hear the guitar on this one. I'll miss your regular appearance with new music, and at the same time love that you're off to try something new. Thanks so much for these 4 years, and for including a bit of my poetry. Please keep me on your mailing list!

Fog Chaser's avatar

Thank you, Alice, for coming along on this journey with me. And how lucky was I that you let me share some of your work? I will certainly be in touch — thank you for being here.

Matt, who knows what this spacious time will bring? How wonderful that you are not afraid to make room for something new. Thank you for the medicine your music has been for me.

Peace to you and your dear family. xo A.

I can't thank you enough, Ann, for everything you have done to support my work. It has meant more to me than I can say — sending you and your family all my best, and I'm sure you'll hear from me sooner rather than later. Looking forward to everything that comes from your Microseasons.
