music by kring and flowers

 

Listening to our "kring flowers" music on a CD that I made for my car while I drive! it's so fun to have your own music CD that you can sing along to... And it's funny because I have the kind of brain where I forget what we do after we do it... and so I need to listen to the CD that we made of our own music and memorize and sing along with it because I don't necessarily remember all the lyrics I wrote in my journal that we recorded... so I've got to learn the songs just like somebody else would have to learn the songs if it wasn't their own music! Ha ha thanks Dave Flowers for amazing fun creative times

thanks Brad Holden!

 

https://www.instagram.com/seattle_artifacts/ Thank you so much Brad Holden @seattle_artifacts for doing a profile on the whole Goddess Kring thing in the Seattle magazine that will be published next month!!! I'm so excited!!!! I'm thrilled that this is going to be printed in the magazine as well as online on the website... how fun is that!? What an honor to be considered part of Seattle history!!! With my public access television show "Goddess Kring" I'm happy to share that I have a poetry book published called "Kringonian Pizzazz" and I'm working on a music album with Dave Flowers from Interactive Jack records an independent record label in Seattle on upper Queen Anne Hill and I'm working on a documentary film about my public access TV show and I'm looking for people to interview about it! If you want to be in our film let me know or if you just want to anonymously answer questions about my show I'm happy to talk to you about that as well! Even if you thought my show was weird and didn't necessarily love it we're interested in honest opinions about it! Thanks! #goddesskring #seattleartifacts

 

 

ideas

 

I don't want the documentary film we're making to just be a way of glorifying what I did on public access,! I want it to be a more honest look at the positive and negative side of what I created and aired on public tv. I think it's ultimately positive and inspirational -hopefully- but there was a dark side to what I was doing and you could say my boundaries were "inappropriate" or whatever maybe that's my neurodivergence maybe that's some kind of emotional woundedness that I have-or maybe that's because people are used to television being completely fake and people exaggerating their ego in a show off kind of way and I really wasn't doing that? I'm a human that's always wanted to share both my beauty and my flaws for some reason....Seriously curious about all the people who did not like my public access TV show "Goddess Kring" and what they said I guess people thought I was crazy people thought I was on drugs people thought it was just weird people thought it was too repetitive I'm just curious what are the negative comments aside from I was accused of being a narcissist and being an attention whore. Should I spell it "horror" cuz the internet wants to censor that word for some reason when I type it ha ha. So if anybody reading this used to watch my show whether you like it or didn't like it or even just felt neutral about it I'm open to your feedback I want to learn from the feedback I receive and it will help me write the storyline for this documentary film that we are starting to make.

Part of why I like to create and broadcast things is because the mainstream media drives me nuts!!! and I want to create my own media....to counter that....I think that if more regular people created their own media and ignored the mainstream media that would be better culture! would be healthier! Handmade media

Workaholic me! I did it!!!! today was my first day off in several days and I resisted the temptation to take an emergency art model gig... I waited and waited and waited and then I said if they really couldn't find anybody I could do it and thankfully they found somebody else... although the workaholic a?in me wishes that I got in the gig but the thing is I need a day off every once in awhile! I work so much!

I will preface this by saying I do love the Taylor Swift song that's called "Carolina" from that movie the crawdad sing I love that song that is quite beautiful the melody and the lyrics and the spaciousness....As for all the drama about Taylor Swift and football games and her boyfriend etc... imagine what it's like to be as famous as her and how the important thing in life is to stay grounded and in touch with the reality of what it is to be a human being and yet when you're in the spotlight like that then you choose what you're going to do and what you're not going to do and the way people project positive and negative things on to you must be a bit draining and stressful and distracting to real life important things ...and yet you have to tune all of that out and just focus on doing what you actually believe in which for her apparently is writing and recording songs and performing and thanking her fans for showing up and listening... I'm not a huge fan of her music but I do love her positive energy and admire her intelligence and her longevity, her talent and her prolific songwriting I really admire and I love seeing videos of her as a little kid and have from a young age she wanted to do what she's doing right now and she stuck with it and she made her dreams come true and I think that is pretty inspiring! and her philanthropy and her ability to apparently focus on what's positive and try to tune out the people who project a bunch of negative junk on to her but she's a real person with flaws just like everybody else... she's multifaceted I'm sure. I also think that the media uses people that are famous like her just to create drama and generate ratings so they can sell more products and so it's partly a manipulation to get sucked into arguing about all of this and football and her being at the football games or whatever... I don't even watch TV! I don't watch football games... I just keep seeing people gossiping about all of this so I thought I would give my take on it. I'm for the freedom of thought to think whatever you want about this topic. I think people just enjoy venting and having something to project onto and let off steam. Famous people in the media are used sometimes for this purpose we see famous people as heroes and villains usually one or the other

dreams

 They say fantasize about what you want if money were no object and really the biggest dream that I have would be to just buy myself a nice house and do my artwork full time and just share it freely all over the world like even have billboards with my art printed on it not trying to sell anything just create beautiful art and print it on billboards and maybe even rent out an entire museum and fill it with artwork that I do or do some kind of installation performance artwork and then I would get another car and paint it as an art car I would probably have a series of art cars and I would just go around the world and share my artwork with people for free basically if money were no object like if I didn't need to earn money I would just use all the wealth that I had to create art and share it freely all over the place and then I would live in a nice house and I would probably have like animals goats and chickens and cats and I would travel and get a lot of massages that's what I would do if I was extremely wealthy or didn't have to worry about earning money etc and I would probably only buy my food from small farms and farmers markets and never actually go to a mainstream grocery store just so that I could support small farms and companies with healthy food real food grown on small farms plants and animals these are some of my dreams... I still want to do my art and take care of animals and travel those are the main things that come to mind when I think about if I had like millions and millions of dollars I would still be doing a lot of the same things that I'm already doing which that's a good sign I guess yay

2010 random non linear mix, poetry music aRt by Kring

Kringonian Pizzazz Poetry book published

 

my poetry book has been published! KringSPEAK poetry by Shannon Kringen Goddess KRING improvisational multi media artist. musical spoken word poetry i write as it flows into my brain. inspired by songwriters and nature. the last four poems are my dad Gus Kringen's folk song lyrics he wrote. we are both poetic writers who love music very deeply.

I am neurodivergent and see shapes when I hear music SYNESTHESIA is part of my reality. (“Synesthesia is when your brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses, causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously. Some examples include tasting words or linking colors to numbers and letters. my poems are visual and musical as well as written words. double and triple entendres...paradox rocks! https://a.co/d/imBmhvG

 

rhinestone face short- invisible force that creates the universe

Classic Goddess KRING clip invisible force that creates the universe order and chaos in nature. some of my philosophy...this is from 2010 or so! purple hair and rhinestones upon my face ans nor just my art car and hand painted shoes i create! #goddesskring learning to edit video clips. i have not done a lot of splicing video in my 15 years doing my weekly show "Goddess KRING" i mostly did 28 minute video episodes in one take all the way through with no splicing needed- a "live performance" style. so "editing" is a whole new ball of wax for me. my scene "cut" was stop/start/stop/start on the VCR button!

we are splicing old videos! this is Goddess KRING 2008 or something?

Short sample clip of an Electronic dance mix version of that melody I wrote when I was 11

 

https://youtube.com/shorts/CSCJchlLVXA?feature=shared

Short sample clip of an Electronic dance mix version of that melody I

wrote when I was 11 years old that I just call 11... this is the 11

electronic extended mix that we're working on! We played my little

melody into a keyboard and then we hooked it into a click track of

rhythm and now we're adding layers of sound to it and we sampled my

voice reading poetic phrases that I wrote and we're turning it into a

new version of this little song I wrote I'm so excited! Thanks Dave

Flowers from Interactive Jack Records!!!! I feel like I'm in music

school in a really good fun way with Dave!
