A peek at the process (full vid on YouTube). What goes on behind the scenes? A whole lot of practicing! This is my first dress rehearsal for the meditation scene for my next @faeriejane tale, Big Bother Bamboo. #workinprogress

Big Brother Bamboo’s main character, Long is having what is known as a Near Death Experience. During the voiceover recording, my stomach was having an experience. Can you hear it? It gave me a good giggle so I left it in. There’s one at the end too! 🧚 #faeriejane

The music for “Big Brother Bamboo” is inspired by my own big brother and our mutual love of metal. ⚡️#judaspriest #governmentsurveillance #policestate #metalmusic #bigbrotherbamboo #bigbrotheriswatching #privacyvssecurity #faeriejane #faerietale #fairytale #fantasy #politicalsatire

🌱 How Big Brother Bamboo Was Born 🌱

Faerie Jane @faeriejane.bsky.social · Dec 20

Big Brother Bamboo was born of a thought-provoking conversation with a friend. We were discussing the horrors in the Middle East when she deflected to the Uyghurs in China. I said perhaps I’ll write about that too. It’s a tale about the balance between surveillance in the name of safety vs. privacy.

As I continue developing the story of Big Brother Bamboo (working title), I’m excited to introduce one of its central characters: A beautiful Crested Ibis, an endangered species. The Ibis is a water bird but breeds in the forest, which is where our story takes place.
