“Where would a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest. If there were no forest, he would make a forest.” ― G.K. Chesterton
The green of the trees begins to fade into gradients of earth and rust. The nights, once thick with air, have become crisp and exhilarating. Autumn wraps itself in a blanket of leaves, and embrace that will last for months.
Every season has cause for celebration; autumn is no different in the hills of North Carolina. And as the season changes around us, so the season changes within us well.
Tonewulf, up to this point, has been a collection of fragments. A collage. Words cut out of a newspaper and painted together in new sentences. Musings and melodies scribbled out and posted to the wall. A compulsive dalliance, perhaps, the impulse to nod in solidarity with an unknown passerby.
And just as we cannot always feel the season’s change approaching, there it is! A cool night signals that summer has put away her short sleeves and has wrapped a blanket around her shoulders.
And here we are now, Tonewulf, with our fur thick and ready for the crisp season we were made for. The sounds. The band. The music. The images. The process. A new fresh thing is emerging, the spirit of it has a hot breath and strong legs. This wulf is no longer a pup.
Attending to the quote at the beginning of this post – this is the forest we have made: Tonewulf is an American electronic band from North Carolina. We create and perform original music and curated visuals that tap into the deep reservoir of meaning buried in the psychedelic closet of the human mind.
What we offer you is a journey into the unfolding nature of existence. The forest is our field of consciousness… and beyond. And the hidden leaf is out there, somewhere on the forest floor, like a map of the forest, waiting to be found.
