The Destination #1 – Pilot
Everything’s useless, especially songs. December 31st, 1999, 7.52 AM I find myself feeling all booted up. I find myself feeling optimistic about the future for once in this stupid life of mine – new day, new month, new year, new decade, new century, new millennium! All this is about as convincing as a meteor. And… Read more

The Destination #13 – A Milky Morning
Now I am become powder of worlds, the Destroyer of rain. December 23rd, 2021, 7:49 AM Through the dark, I discern daytime. Through the silence, I can hear my own voice. I love to sing, sing until it is all so opaque that I can no longer see through myself. I love trying on words for… Read more

Slow down, you crazy child – don’t you know that Pylaia waits for you? August 9, 2016, 6:33 AM Rest easy, Bernie. Shut those little eyelids of yours and catch a break, do – Pylaia waits for you. Until I see you on the other side of tomorrow, I wish you a slumber of the most… Read more

The Destination #8 – The Well-Tempered Brontosaurus / Pilgrimage the Second
If a child spends his entire infancy in his mother’s embrace, does he reckon himself as being of her stature, or does he realize that he is small, only propped on a step? March 23rd, 2009, 6.27 AM I am acquainted with the prospect of becoming one with the soil. I can see the village… Read more

The Destination #5 – Dishevel Heavened
A tree in roots in soil, a soil in Earth in world. In world a universe alight, in light, dark incarnate. January 29th, 2007, 7.41 AM Why do I pretend I’m complicated, when in reality, I am just blind? I am a pigeon on the wire, trapped by the wind and afraid to move. I… Read more

Ramblings of a sane mind in the AM
I’m over at my best friend’s house as I’m writing this, and it is currently 3.30am. This has been a great time for contemplation, as the hangout has officially reached the point where we’re not even talking to each other, just sitting in the same room, each of us occupied with their own matters. It’s… Read more

A recollection of my debut show
I performed my first big girl concert last night. It was titled “Freaky Auntie Punks The Blues – A rockin’ evening with Silia Stamatiadis”, and while it was neither punk nor blues, and I am definitely not an auntie (though I do have a niece, I am advised), it was absolutely rockin’. That is the… Read more

My 6 year debut anniversary; a reflection
Today, April 19th 2025, marks the 6 year anniversary since my musical debut. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen; on April 19th 2019 – 6 years ago today – I released my first song, ever. I was 12 years old then, and now I’m 18. Everything has changed, and so, nothing is the same – I… Read more

A very busy few days
If you know me any meaningful amount, you will probably be well acquainted with the notion that I am one busy young lady. I study at two different institutions, I am constantly booked and busy with a whole slew of side gigs, yet I somehow still manage to maintain a fulfilling social life atop it… Read more
