i guess you would call this the dance class edition, because i found myself really missing being in the dance studio with those humans training to create beauty out of thin air and being nothing short of inspiring in the process.

my daughter and i were messing around with some old kiddie paint she had lying around. i'll try to keep this up while the paint lasts... [read more]

side 6! it's (a)live! #theshutinsides


Barry Bennett - Mailing List

greetings hUmaNs...

Side 6 marks the completion of a third double album of material released since March 18th.
This project has been a great source of finding positive headspace while the world resets itself.
it's my intention that these records give you a little of that headspace. yes, i call them records, especially these since they really are a document of a specific moment in time and space.
there is good energy to be shared and it heartens me to see all the different ways folks are doing it these days.

Well, I'm glad to report I finally got over myself and decided to start... [read more]

Side 5 is a reality...now!


Barry Bennett - Mailing List

hello again my pretties...

Side 5 drops today. ya know, now that I've reached the mini milestone of 5 sides (the first quarter of double LP #2!), the reality sets in that I'm really going to do this thing. no matter the circumstance, we can keep evolving...creating...loving...being. aspects of life stops, but life doesn't stop. vocations change and the human remains.
anyhoo. I hope you are getting something out of our little project together. if a tree falls in the woods and all that jazz.

I'll at least have a... [read more]
