The wav.
MILKY WAV. Episode 1 explores the first two planets in the Milky Way Galaxy
(Mercury and Venus) and it aims to establish the sonic landscape in which all the songs find their orbit. Ultimately, the Milky Wav. project will make a stop at all 8 planets in the solar system, unearthing their unique characteristics and mythology through sound and milky wav.files.
The tall poPpy apprenticeship with composer Jeanine Tesori was this project's Big Bang. Created in conversation with the ballet/play a lot much more, MILKY WAV. completes Mars' poPpy project series and celebrates marginalized communities while interrogating Art’s relationship with Identity Politics.
Jeanine Tesori's music is a big inspiration for MILKY WAV., namely her work in the musical theatre and cinematic spaces. Studying her expansive canon, it's clear that three undercurrents can be found in each of Tesori's scores: her ability to develop story through sound, transform genres, and collaborate with stellar artists. With these three elements as the celestial-map, MILKY WAV. was created using genre blending as the compass while collaboration served as the North Star for the modern mythology in the making.
Lyft off
Said I’d never leave
Say you’ll wait for me
Give me Sunday afternoon
Pinky swear that I’ll be back soon.
I just have to go
Still love you
You know
These — I gotta pay.
I’ll fuck you in a few days
LYFT OFF
Mercury
ENTOURAGE:
Mild emergency
COO has gone missing.
Could this be a flee?
We can’t locate Mercury.

Apollo’s B has gone missing.
Where the hell is he?
They can’t locate Mercury.
HARPER:

Cant I go to?
Swear

But just can’t get through.
MERCURY
HERMES (REPORTER):
Authorities are telling us
Arcadia COO, Mercury Abell,
Is under investigation by
The Justice Department
For claims of fraud and embezzlement.
A search warrant has been issued and
A statement from Venture Capital corporation
Arcadia has yet to be made.
HARPER:
Where?
Why?
VENUS/CELESTE:
Time and time again
We’ve seen this in him.
Here we go again.
That’s the end my friend.
Reckless careless M.
VENUS/CELESTE:
Time and time again
His heel Achilles then
Here we go again
The dow drops 10%.
I’ll call the President.
SOL:
Lock him up
Don’t shoot me.
He’s the con
So don’t sue please.
That’s how the history goes.
Cop these embezzlement pros.
Those
Nepo kids they don’t work the line.
Last time feds pardoned a petty fine.
So Lock him up
Don’t shoot.
Check my books
That’s the true me.
Mercury II
Said I’d never leave
Say you’ll wait for me

The Capital
The greed

MERCURY II
Abell Aire
Apollo cuckold me
Pit stop
8 o’clock
He told me “no”
I gotta go
The hell do I got left?
Altoids, coke, and K
Hail Mary under breath
"Told ya so"
They say
You’re finding me
Post break through
Was better to ignore you
I don’t wanna talk it out
Rather fuck it up and leave
Long distance: I tried to
You say “open it”
How dare you?
Should only wanna
Be with me
Baby I just gotta leave
Abell Aire
Pollo cuckold me
He told me “no”
I gotta go
"I told you"
VENUS
Sorry for the lack of attention.
Not to mention the elusiveness of my gaze.
You know what they say about the gays.
A fuck and flee is the key
An open door in a Grindr spree.
But you got me to stop and stay.
You taught me the fruitfulness and bliss
Of a simple shoulder kiss
Bodies tethered longer
Than they coulda-shoulda-woulda
Stomach knotted from
Etanglement
Butterflies from
A lingering high five
I tell you
It’s because of you
I felt so so *glitch* so *glitch* so
Dr. Frankenstein alive.
You were he.
VENUS
You low key doctored me
All calculated exact science
When you
1-2
Juiced me
with a charge
And made my Venti self
Feel a lot much more large.
You had magic to do.
Cast a tell tale spell and
It’s because of you a
Giant genius
Was able to see
The complexity of
My nativity
All my love scribbled
MacBook fairy Air
My soupy soul to bare
But I forced your voice
Which I kno
Wasn’t really that fare.
The beanstalk withered
The glass slipper fell off the stair
And broke
The alarm clock
Jumped over the moon.
And with the deep dish crust
Cleaned from eyes
Yet another daydream surprise
A moment of stillness to
Ponder and hypothesize
Hold still and share
My L
A Sleepy z
So reaching out to say
I’m sorry.
I apologize.
And now
Imma let
You
