Forthcoming Listening 

​

Several new releases are unfolding in my work, each emerging from a different listening space and season of creation. While the names may differ—JS Wrldbridger, Julie Jewels Smoot, and Author Honey Badger—they are not separate identities so much as distinct containers for sound, language, and presence.

These releases are not designed to demand attention or produce a particular outcome. They are offerings meant to be met slowly, discovered when the timing is right, and returned to as often—or as rarely—as the listener chooses.

JS Worldbridger

​

The work released under JS Worldbridger explores sound as connective tissue—between inner and outer worlds, memory and moment, rest and movement. These pieces often hold a spacious, ambient quality, inviting the listener into extended listening without instruction. The focus here is not on performance, but on continuity: how sound can quietly accompany life rather than interrupt it.

Julie Jewels Smoot

​

Releases under my own name are closely tied to my personal sound practice and listening philosophy. These works may include hand pan, gong, and other acoustic or ambient elements, but always with an emphasis on allowing sound to remain what it is. There is no requirement to relax, visualize, or transform. Listening can be active, passive, or intermittent. The sound does not mind.

Author Honey Badger

​

Author Honey Badger holds a different kind of offering—one that often sits at the edge of sound and language. This work may include spoken word, narrative, or textured audio environments that explore truth-telling, boundary, and lived experience. It is not polished for comfort, but shaped with care and intention. Like the other releases, it is meant to be found rather than pushed.

​

On Timing and Release

​

These upcoming works are being shared in alignment with my seasonal rhythm. Public releases tend to arrive in Spring and Summer, when the work naturally turns outward. There is no fixed release schedule and no expectation to keep up. Sound continues beyond release dates, and listening remains available long after something is first shared.

​

An Invitation Without Demand

​

You do not need to prepare yourself for these releases. You do not need to understand them. You are welcome to listen for a few minutes, or to let them pass you by entirely. The work does not require engagement to be complete.

When each release is ready to be shared, it will be named. Until then, the sound continues quietly—doing what it does best.
