Yet another new video:
Project Bluebird - An Arousing (Poem by John Trudell)
with Mike Mayo
New Video: Aquamarine Condition
Newly Reuploaded Video by my friend Visionarydreams on Youtube for "Blackbird 1978" She does a great job artistically on here. This is with words by Eisy Murphy, music by Nancy Pontius and highly improved by the talents of Eric Baldoni (of Sans Analog, Cortex Bomb and the famous Barely Bipedal, also Colt Vista) see also Project Bluebird with the Erics here: http://www.myspace.com/ericbluebirds
New video in honor of my friend and Project Bluebird co-writer Terry Mclain who passed away in November.
"I Am" words by Pontius, music by Baldoni. Trippy fractallish thing. Older version "I am with you" folky style video on Kilsoquah 2 page.
Video by Nancy Pontius of Project Bluebird's "Why is the Earth Blue" featuring the great ambient jazz trumpet and other sounds of Eric Dahlman also with the very talented Mike Mayo (they also mixed and mastered this piece--more songs they have added onto are coming soon!). The music was by Pontius and the lyrics are by both Pontius and Lizzie Woolfolk, who often collaborates with Project Bluebird, most famously "Medication Blues." Also this video features the wonderful artwork of Tim "Shitao" Williams who is "Shitao" on flickr, check him out. Shitao is also featured in the video I did for Joy Harjo's music, back in the blog (check out Joy Harjo too of course, she is amazing).
Video by Andrew Buckle, who wrote the very potent words for this song, Welfare State" He earned honors in the UK for this video. He did a great job. music by Pontius.
an outstanding video response to welfare state by steven taylor and tuli kupferberg, "leftover people."
Video by Pontius of "Rose Colored War" with the multi-talented and wonderful Eric Royer from the Rose Colored War e-album, with words again by Eisy Murphy. Pontius edited clips from the old propaganda film "A is for Atom" for this piece and added effects. Music by Pontius:
Video by Pontius featuring art from The Icarus Project, with lyrics by a great poet, Steven Hoffman about psychiatric abuse and police brutality. music by Pontius. It is a song from the "Icarus" e-album on Lastfm
Project Bluebird - For Jane
Video by Pontius (one of my "experimental" ones, never mind the low budget psychedelia), it is with words by a great writer named Weallpoo also from the Icarus e-album on last fm. words by Pontius.

Love is our Mother and the way of our Prophet. Yet it is in our nature to fight with Love. We can’t see you, Mother, hidden behind dark veils woven by ourselves.

I am dyslexic myself (though as a child of the 1970s we didn't have such terms back then and I simply carried around the label "learning disabled") but the ocean and music were the two forces in my life that were a constant and to which I will always be thankful for. I hope all is well with you, my friend. It's good to be quiet sometimes and it is good to be loud. But most importantly it is good to be able to call you my friend.
Welcome Nancy and thanks...I dont know yet how to import graphics etc very well yet but I will conquer lol...Have a great rest of the week dear. ....Sunni
