Unidentified Muse from Resonant Matter by jenn howd

The Muses, daughters of Memory and divine inspirers of the arts and sciences, awaken what already lives within us. This soundscape honors their lineage through the subtle textures of memory: laughter, love, sorrow, and the tender persistence of feeling. It is an offering to the emotional imprints we bear, and to the unseen forces that move us to shape them into art—for all to witness. Even through the noise of forgetting, we return.

What have you carried—quietly, persistently—that longs to be expressed?
