Ulek Mayang: The Rhythm That Wrote My Warrior Princesses
This is the beat that shaped my book, and the breath behind my warrior women Ulek Mayang is a traditional healing dance-ritual from the state of Terengganu. It is a ritualistic dance performed to appease or invoke the spirits of the sea and is always accompanied by a unique song. The word ulek means “to soothe” or “to lull,” and mayang refers to the flowering fronds of the coconut palm, used as a sacred object in the performance. It’s believed to heal fishermen or villagers who fall ill due to spiritual disturbance, especially from sea spirits or unseen forces tied to the ocean.

🗺️ Sound as a Place: How Music Becomes Emotional Geography . AI-Generated.
Close your eyes. Think of the last song that truly moved you. Now think: Where did it take you? Not just emotionally—but physically, spatially. Did it drop you into a rainy city at midnight? A sunlit rooftop in summer? An empty bedroom at 2AM? Did it make you feel like you were somewhere else entirely—maybe even a place that doesn’t exist?

☀️ Dreamy Summer Vibes Vol. 1 . AI-Generated.
When the air gets warmer and the days stretch a little longer, there’s an unspoken magic that settles over everything. It’s in the quiet stillness of early morning light, the soft hum of a fan in the background, or the way sunlight dances on your skin during a lazy walk home. Dreamy Summer Vibes Vol. 1, the latest compilation from The Yume Collective, captures that magic in musical form.

Some Canterbury Tales
Introduction I recently joined a Facebook group, "The Canterbury Scene", and they are extremely engaging and have been very welcoming when I have posted there, so I thought I would make a playlist of some of my favourite songs by Canterbury-related artists. You can check the group out here:
