Shellbody take the footage back to the stone I felt her in the breeze and the way you say her name holds and the way you say her name floats like a stone towards the eye of a willow I will flower I will take care of the void It's a darkness that you showed me how to enjoy And the way you say her name Holds and the way you say her name floats like a stone towards the eye of a willow Bend in the wind Like a knife Burning still Towards the volcano And the way you say her name Holds In the pain of the Knife Like the fourth of the spring Towards the volcano

about

“Shellbody” is the debut recording project of Paulastretch. The collection spirals around a particular time of recovery and transition in the artist’s life. In a visit to a wall of archived minimal guitar music tapes, recorded in stream of conscious sessions over the winter of 2019, the tapes were cut into fragments and weaved into dependence over the course of the summer and fall, to form the warm rope that holds the shell body.

“Shellbody“ is an ode Sharon Brickman, the composer’s grandmother, who has passed the shellbody spirit through lineage.
