The Phenomenological Ecriture of Motherhood [Instr]

from Divine Affliction, Vol. 2 by Orthentix

about

This song is a lullaby to my daughter, expressing my deepest thoughts, feelings, and love for her. It speaks about the maternal connection between motherhood and our maternal ancestors who are always with us. The composition resembles my journey of motherhood from birth to teenagehood and the many trips and tumbles we have along the way. Embracing the afflictions that mothers endure along with the divinity of motherhood.

The Phenomenological Ecriture of Motherhood translates to the phenomenological writings of motherhood. This term is theorized as a feminine aesthetic, as many females have composed works based on the subjectivity of motherhood. A child's first experience of the phenomenological ecriture is at birth when mother and child meet for the first time. "The infant's experience of phenomenological ecriture is the first meeting between flesh and cognition. Such an experience of the Eleusinian emotions reactivated in later life in an archetypal renewal of the self offers women that maternal genealogy between mothers and daughters." (Teresa & Duncan, Ed. 2003, p, 255.). This is what I had in my mind while composing the song. The emotional experience and memory of the first time my daughter and we cast eyes on each other, along with memories of my mother's face.
