Hi Audiosex Community!

Friendly Non-Contest #20 is here! : Mother Gaia edition! :

Introduction :

Gaia is the Greek goddess personifying the Earth, a primordial deity, and the mother of all life. Often called Mother Earth, she emerged from Chaos and birthed the sky (Uranus) and sea (Pontus). Gaia is widely depicted in art as a nurturing, full-figured woman rising from or reclining on the ground.

Gaia is the ancestral mother who bore the Titans, Cyclopes, and Giants. She played a significant role in, and often instigated, power struggles against, her husband Uranus and son Cronus.

• Gaia Hypothesis/Theory:
  Co-developed by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, this scientific concept proposes that living organisms and their inorganic surroundings evolve as a single, self-regulating system that maintains life on Earth.
  
  The concept :
  
  Pick only one of the following images :
  (same concept/different aesthetics for the cover art of your track/song) -> :
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ^^^^^
  
  The concept....continued :
  
  * The submitted track must be an original piece created for the occasion, using only one of the above images as inspiration.
  * The creative process is your own, there are no bad entries.
  * If possible, please provide us with a little include insight into your interpretation of the image and how formed your track.
  
  * I feel an image of Mother Gaia can be used as an image to create compositions of a broad spectrum :
  
  Anything from Psychedelic Trance to Psybient (psychedelic ambient & ambient ).....to Psychedelic Rock & Psychedelia........to Cinematic music/Fantasy Music....to Trip-hop & Tribal/Ethnic music....or simply you using your acoustic guitar or piano and writing a poem/song for Mother Gaia /Earth .
  
  Earth Day was celebrated a few days ago on April 22nd and next month
• on second Sunday of May (May 10, 2026) we are celebrating Mother's Day....so write a track/ song for your Mother too!

This'll most likely be the last, #20, I can create a song for until a hopeful #22 as we're moving and I need to pack up, lug all our stuff to the new location, treat the new room and reinstall my gear. I chose a bold color for the walls that I feel will support my creativity...near a Robin Egg Blue. I hope to hatch some new music like baby birds...with eyes fresh to their new surroundings though with the instincts of all that have come before them.

Thanks, @SpyFx ✪ ✓ for hosting this iteration with an idea that is literally fodder for creativity.

Best of luck and success with your move to a new place, @Lois Lane.
The stucco ceiling and the tree outside the window will surely be inspiring. Blue is the color of concentration.

 

@PulseWave .. the ceiling is smooth renovated plaster and not stucco. The circle where the light fixture will be is called a ceiling medallion and which was originally made for the room back in about 1880. It used to be flame gas lighting but was converted to electricity a few years later.
