The thought of me doing improv used to be exciting, and terrifying.  I remember being so amazed by the greats, I still am - Ella Fitzgerald being one master that comes to mind.  But the thought of me doing it, resulted in feelings of near panick.  I began by trying a little improv on my own, I felt so clumsy and awkward.  It's taken me years to get to where i am now, and i am so so thankful.  I know i still have a long way to go on this wonderful path i am so thankful to be on, and that's wonderful.  I am finally at a place where when I sing in the moment, without care for words, structure, performance, I am feeling liberated and like I'm sharing something so real and worthy, even if it's just the tree's an subtle endless reverberating around the universe of my frequencies.  I don't always sound good, some times i sound pretty awful.  Sometimes i sound great - it's all ok - I am no longer worried about sounding bad, a fear that so many of us share.  I have released this fear, I have released the shame.  It is so therapuetic to sing, and play according to my feelings in the moment, what a wonderful practice.  What once instilled so much fear in me has become something that instills courage, peace and self love.  Improv.  Flow

I have ZERO interest in using ai for any part of my creative process, but Midi, now that's another story!  This fantastic program / instrument / tool is something I've wanted to learn for a long time.  I have had a block, just like music production in general for a looooong time, this just felt overwhelming, everything is so new, I felt intimidated.  But I finally got to setting it all up, HUGE thanks to my teacher and fantastic Audio Producer / Musician and mentor - Bob e Burnham!   There's so much to learn, but no matter, i am so happy to have broken through the initial barrier and have begun my fun musical explorations with MUSICAL INSTRUMENT DIGITAL INTERFACE

Introducing "The Cosmo Cats", my new Jazz ensemble!  Super happy to be singing Jazz again, it's been a long time.  I'm busy learning new songs and really just having a blast with this project.  ​"The Cosmo Cats are a trio that play Jazz Standards, Bossa Nova, 1920’s Jazz, Soulful Pop and Roots music.  They reside in Vilcabamba Ecuador.    Hayley Jacqueline (U.K.) - Vocals, Mark Kuhn (U.S.) - Guitar and Vocals , Chickadee Louis (Canada) - Bass and Vocals.   All music is played in 432hz".   

very happy to have found my way to this commitment, as I learn about frequencies and sound healing, it was inevitable - all music that I create from here on will be in 432 hz, or perhaps 528 or other healing frequencies, enjoy, heal, music medicine!!

Super happy to be releasing this original song with the Rude boys!  Vocals written by Diego Leonardo Ordóñez Ochoa - super lovely, happy, catchy song, hope you enjoy!
