stillness & motion When i received a scholarship t stillness & motion When i received a scholarship this year to create my forthcoming album, i was immensely happy, but don’t be fooled: i applied every year for the past few years and i was always rejected. Some things look so easy from the outside, so effortless, so easy, but most often truth is that perseverance is the key. I am not a supporter of the „hard work pays of“ mentality. Not at all. I believe, it stems from a history of exploitation and greed. But what I do support is perseverance - out of a place of inner love. It’s a beautiful thing to do something every day, even just for a few minutes, and see it grow. Days, weeks, months later and you’re in awe of yourself. It connects you with your power and it connects you with an aspect of yourself that is bigger than your human self. Keep creating! 🖤 _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
Veiled in clouds. ☁️ When autumn is in full b Veiled in clouds. ☁️ When autumn is in full bloom, i’ll be releasing my new album. It will be a walk in the clouds. Its theme is dreams. Do you remember your dreams? I do. It’s a fascinating portal. To the subconscious. To the world of symbolism. To something that words cannot fathom. 🤍 _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
First of all, THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who First of all, THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who reached out to me, asking how I’m doing because I didn’t post any content on here. Thank you to everyone who kept buying and discovering my music although I didn’t post any content on Instagram. I am absolutely stunned by your kindness, by your generosity and patience! 🤍 I truly adore this small community. Thank you! Being an artist means doing a great variety of things, one of them being the visibility part, sharing your craft. But, oh, how I love to hide. To hide in my little cave and create and create and create. I am a creator (creatrix?), but not really a “content creator”, so sometimes I just forget to share something on here if I am busy creating in the now. But slowly, my time of introspection is over and I am happy to say, so is the recording process of my NEXT ALBUM. 🥳 Over the past 2 months I had the pleasure to work with a wonderful cellist ( @elisabetiserte ) to accompany me on my album. Thanks to the generosity of @musicboardberlin who granted me a scholarship, I will be able to press vinyls! 🎹 I also reached a new step of my healing work and became a naturopath a few weeks ago. 🌱 I hope to add some more beauty to this world, pausing the noise for just a tiny little bit. And I hope you are, too. 🤍 _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com

“and“ is one of my favourite words. And... so “and“ is one of my favourite words. And... so simple, so short. I am stubborn and adaptable. I am kind and I am cold. I am loud and soft. I am cheeky and humble. I have courage and I am a coward. I like cats and I like dogs (and for that matter, I like all animals). I like my extremes. I feel a spectrum of emotions. I can be this and I can be that. “And” is such a beautiful word. It’s freedom... one of the highest forms of freedom to me is being able to change. Everything else is a uniform I not willing to wear. 🥀 Subscribe to my Spotify and YouTube. 🤍 Links in bio. _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
🌀 “Sometimes a wild god comes to the table. H 🌀 “Sometimes a wild god comes to the table. He is awkward and does not know the ways Of porcelain, of fork and mustard and silver. His voice makes vinegar from wine. When the wild god arrives at the door, You will probably fear him. He reminds you of something dark That you might have dreamt, Or the secret you do not wish to be shared. He will not ring the doorbell; Instead he scrapes with his fingers Leaving blood on the paintwork, Though primroses grow In circles round his feet. Oh, limitless space. Oh, eternal mystery. Oh, endless cycles of death and birth. Oh, miracle of life. Oh, the wondrous dance of it all.” (excerpt of “Sometimes a wild god” by Tom Hirons) 🥀 ‘a hole in my soul’ out on February 12th - subscribe to Spotify & co to not miss it) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com

But feel much. 🌀 Oh patience, how I’ve come to respect you, one day I’ll love you. 〰️ We, my piano and me, are creating beautiful tunes out of nothing. Where do ideas come from anyway...? Making an album is a process - one which involves a lot of listening, and every string inside my piano tells a story of its own, wanting to be captured. 🥀 Music, •MOON MAIL•, Offerings🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
This year beautifully showed me the spectrum of my This year beautifully showed me the spectrum of my emotions. Isn’t it marvellous to feel? I sure know the opposite, and despite all the ups and downs this year, I am more than happy to feel it all. I am in the midst of recording a new album. The last one, MAYA, came out in 2017. A lot has changed since then and „a lot“ could fill more than one album, but life moves on and all that remains are the snapshots in time, my songs, like musical photographs. This year I released Triad, Death Is My Lover, There Will Be Blood and Die Gedanken. Not only is the making of a musical piece a snapshot in time, but also the release of it. It all comes together - an ever flowing process. And I encourage everyone to create and release, and to do it all over again. 📸: Cover of Triad 🥀 Music, •MOON MAIL•, Offerings🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
“ If you would indeed behold the spirit of death “ If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides...” Kahlil Gibran These past few weeks and months have been a challenge. And although I rejoice in a good challenge, this one I didn’t accept, but had to in the end. I was watching over my dying father, and although I was sad at heart, I am grateful for the lessons. He ultimately taught me what it means to have a body, and what it means to leave a body. It is not the first time and it won’t be the last time that I question life and its purpose. But those moments truly remind me that the true meaning of life is found in the pursuit of pure love. 🤍 🥀 Music, •MOON MAIL•, Offerings🌙 (Link in bio) 📸 @brother_t_music _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
Slowly transcending. They say that when the season Slowly transcending. They say that when the seasons change, you are able to perceive what lies beyond. Let’s celebrate the limits of our perception, honouring them, thanking them for every thing they gifted us, but then move on, slowly progressing, slowly transcending. 🥀 Sign up for the •MOON MAIL• 🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
Transitions. Best perceived by the cyclical nature Transitions. Best perceived by the cyclical nature of nature. And we humans, after all, are nature, too, thus cyclical, though we seem to love the concept of linearity. But then again, we are not that intelligent, though we seem to come with brilliant ideas, we are a species that destroys its home, poisons its foods, and kills each other from a place of vengeance and logical calculus. I’ve read that mushrooms are the most intelligent species on earth. I will spend more time with mushrooms from now on, will you join me? 🥀 Sign up for the •MOON MAIL• 🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com

„What was said to the rose that made it open...“ I would sing to the rose bud to gently ask it to open, to encourage it to blossom. Going for a walk takes ages these days because the roses‘ scent keeps me enchanted, like Odysseus and the sirens, like the pungi and the snake. 🥀 Sign up for the •MOON MAIL• 🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com

‘My Year in Poems’ is a series I started a whi ‘My Year in Poems’ is a series I started a while ago, setting poems to music. Every poem has its own rhythm, a soul, a tune that just needs to get caught. Poem No. 5 is ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ by Sara Teasdale. Published in 1918. For me it is about the insignificance of humans. Listen and watch on my YouTube channel. Link in bio.
