Breathehope

"Danielle Lucchini has only been making electronic music for about a year. The starlight soundscapes that she produces under the Breathehope alias are static lullabies for starlit winter nights. It may be the Oklahoma skies of her home state or her wedded bliss that fire her musical imagination. Whatever the spark, the results are dreamlike and charged with longing.

Spite is Bjork locked in a room with a music box and a faulty electronic typewriter, all neon streaked awe and broken machine rhythms. The dub bass and reverse vocal washes of Shine are like those brief moments when you first wake and still dreaming. Imagine Sigur Ros remixed by Andy Weatherall and you get an idea of the stark beauty of the track. This would be a perfect comedown soundtrack, perfect for on one of those chillout mix CDs."

I finally get to see sigur ros!!! I bought tickets this morning, and it will be my first time, even though its in february, and it'll be a 5 hour drive, I'm already super excited & we got Row B!! :D

------------------------------------

Then after that I went to bed and I had a terrible nightmare.
This is what I wrote to my husband in a chat (he was at work), describing it, after waking up:

"I still feel sick. it was the same as last time, the last time I died in my dream. and I died in this one again. and it was strange.
we were at this place. me and you.

and it was where you had a job. or worked. we stayed all I night, I was visiting.
but there were rooms, like dorms.

and there was this guy playing strange music. he kept paying attention to me as if he was hitting on me. but I was with you. and I ignored all his attempts to get my attention.
lol - there was even some talk from to you about getting a "royal gobby lining" :P

and then we were leaving this place. and leaving for good. moving maybe? and I was (for some known reason) rolling this tank of flamable gas with me..
I don't know what was in it or what it was for. and we walk through the door to leave and there was that guy again, the one trying to get my attention.

he was laughing and he had a gun, and he started to shoot at this tank. this tank was long and it had wheels, and I will wheeling it behind me.
and in my dream I remember hearing shoots, and then I yell "NO" and I feel the instinct to jump away, it EXPLODES behind me, a see a couple of flames, then after that I don't see you. and I feel my mind empty again. like a tv being turned off. blackless thoughtlessness.

I can remember everything in detail.
it was so scary...

I woke up crying... and I feel emotional. because its scary. to be without you. to not able to go back. and that it feels so real."

--------------------------------------------

That was my dramatic moment for the day :) I dunno why I felt like sharing. Its weird how you can feel ill after these things.

I know I haven't updated in a while. So here I am. I dunno why, but I just find it hard to update anymore, I think about it, and I read my friend's journals, & rarely commenting. I feel like the largest hermit there could be.

So we've moved into our new place. Yeah I've been here 2+ weeks and I haven't updated until now. Time just goes by. The first week I was here, I felt sad, just beause there was nothing tangible here, and I felt like I was in the strangest place, all empty and sad. But as the following week came, its been a little easier. This is supposed to be a happy thing, but I feel its just now starting.

There are some things about myself that I am concerned about. When I got here, I basically went from have semi-clear skin to a massive explosion of acne on my face. It's made me going from liking to put makeup on every once in a while to not even wanting to look in the mirror just to brush my hair or my teeth. I've even stayed indoors, because I don't want people to see me. This is also why I haven't taken any pictures of myself lately. I almost feel like this makes me seem less REAL online. Whatever. I just used to enjoy these things and I now I just enjoy reading about others & wishing it was better. I dunno what to do with it, I've tried a million things, and now I just don't know if I want to WASTE more money trying things that probably won't work, then again, how will I know?

With my music its been the same, shameless nothingness and empty. I've done a couple of minimal songs, but my heart can't shed out any lyrics because I'm just in the dumps. I could write about feeling in the dumps, but that's just so cliche.

I know no one will give a shit, but I broke my shock mount to my recording mic, and I am PISSED!!!!

Ohhhh and I'm having a bandwidth problem. It should be fixed later.

An edit.

UGH, I have to change my video format from my last post from a AVI to an MP4 (because some people couldn't view it) and from 19 Megs to only 9 Megs. Better all around!

A webcam documentation.

I'm often curious to see people record/create music on video, wether its in a home, or in a studio, or live. I just like to watch people. Now I hate being on film, but for the sake of documenting myself as I grow, why not?

So here is a film of me recording. I am not acting out or anything, I simply just turned on the webcam and turned on the mic, and gazing at my computer screen for my lyrics (since they are still so new!).

I have to also mention, that my good friend Kristófer, created this beautiful music, we collab alot lately. You should see more stuff created by him at http://myspace.com/kristfer - A huge thank you to him for inspiring me & keeping my spirits high. <3

Sorda kinda newish song. :) http://www.myspace.com/breathehope

I've been kinda weird lately, just being ill off and on & trying to collab with 2-3 different people, with different musics, and then doing my own music, its fun but really time comsuming & makes me just want my kitties, my bed, & my bichon. (mika)

Then I wake up the next day and do the same thing. So. Who knows.

MICKAEL GOT THE JOB!!!

(for those of you who don't know)

For the past three weeks mickaël has gone on interviews to a certain job in a city from here. On the first interview there were about a a dozen guys, then the chose 3 people out of the doze, mickaël just happend to be lucky and be one of the 3, and out of the 3, he was chosen! YAY.

This equals:

1. We will get to move to a new city.
2. Money.
3. I will get to do more music. :) YAY.

alround, its good thing.

Sick but well.

2005-08-07T09:28:18Z

For the past three days, I have been ill, with no appetite whatsoever. Well, today, after a well needed nap, I was crazy hungry and gorged on my favorite mexican food & brownies. What the hell is wrong with me? I've made myself sick again! I rarely do this, and it was kinda nice, but also guilt ridden :P For those who know me, I am usually dieting. Weight gain seems to come so easily for me, bad genes or something, so binging like a nut tonight is completely a guilty pleasure. Oh well, you have to live a little.

Babbling, yeah.

I wanna say thank you for everyone who supports me and my music, makes me feel like a shiny apple.

From post: http://www.livejournal.com/users/breathehope/12331.html?thread=96555#t96811

Lookie me! Me first hate mail. Ouuu goody, its so amusing!

"I hear you're pretty anal-retentive about dumb shite & like to nose around other people's business for the sheer sake of being a goody-two-shoes busybody.

And yet here you are posting oh-so-icky TMI pics that glorify your exhibitionistic, over-inflated but highly unjustified ego. Get over yourself, honey, in every way that you possibly can (really, ya ain't attractive, and I swing both ways). I would say that I hope you're happy with yourself, but I'm sure that your opinion of your own worth is already much higher than it should be without my goading you into puffing yourself up more, like some angry little blowfish."

LOL, wft?

So I went on a short vacation this weekend. We went to Branson, MO. I mostly went to please my father. He wanted me to spend time with his girlfriend which has been hard to do. I couldn't say no to some R&R with Mickaël, plus its good to do something nice for my dad. I had fun, its hard to come home and times like that, but I did miss the kitties. Sushi (the kitten we kept!) is so cute these days.

Random thoughts for you from me at 4:08am :)

I wish my stomach would stop twisting and churning. I've been on the couch all day whining & sleeping. I like green tea. We need a new camera, money would be nice. We are have some troubles getting the kittens placed in homes. I have to put an ad in the newspapers. One gone, five to go. I will miss them. I have been making some crap music lately but oh well, better than nothing. I can't wait to design breathehope.com. It will be all about my art & music & maybe some photos. YES. :D I wish I had a powerbook for my music, maybe someday when I get a real job.

I think that's it for now. :) Sleep well darlings.

Why am I such a burden to my father?
I thought father's helped their daughters in time of need, but instead, nothing but fights about all the money I owe him and what I haven't become. Like that's supposed to motivate me to be something better.
