"The songs are weird and rough, but I hate it
when I let my music pile up. I think music
should be shared. My music is not perfect but
it is an expression of my spirit and sometimes
my frustration and I just want to allow people to
hear art that is different."

I feel like I'm in more control, in fact, I am in control.

Marika Tjelios is a really supportive producer. She
let me take my work and promote the way I saw fit.

I produced the photo shoot and the youtube videos
(Thanks to Purple Bangs and Alvia for all your help!), I wrote
and composed the melodies of the songs, and I'm feeling less
confined.

So, there will be much more to come:

More photos, live performances posted on youtube, and
music videos.

I'm really excited".

Love,

Did you know Jordannah's been playing guitar for 10 years??

"I finally realized I'm an okay guitar player after this long.
I'm finally starting to feel comfortable with my skills."

The new EP is a singer/songwriter project by Jordannah.

"The songs are simple and profound...at least to me.
The songs are turning out to be this small collection of lullabies.
I'm enjoying writing this album, after a rough patch of not knowing the direction
of this project, the vision is finally coming together...
or it's emerging on it's own really.

The art is running the creative process of this album.

Sometimes, a 3 year old concept with drive my music...
sometimes, just writing different songs will drive the whole
album to take shape into what it wants to be."

"Patience" Demo Attempt #1

2009-10-10T13:52:00.000-07:00

"I had two studio sessions scheduled in one day. The first session was one
I haven't been too comfortable about since I booked it.

Right before the session I
called the producer who was still sleeping at noon on a Friday...

He gave me some lip on the phone, right before I was heading home to pick up my guitar and I cancelled the session basically by bidding him a good day and hanging up my cell phone."

4 hours later:

The next session was with a friend of mine.

We were all miked up, sound check was done, we started rolling, and after I got
through the first song, my friend realized, nothing was coming through the board.

Okay.

So we did a video on a new Macbook Pro, using Quicktime.

I was unhappy with the product.

My friend told me to keep rolling through the video during mistakes...
the video ended up being 30 minutes long and I was
later informed there would be no editing because the rendering process
would take too much space up on the Mac.

Then what the hell did I sit there and record for????

Why didn't we just do on three minute song, so I could throw it
up on Youtube???

Even so, I didn't expect to be recording on camera and I didn't like
the way I looked.

I have a CD of the session, but it's not even worth putting up
on Mediafire.com/makeshivtkity, where I post all my C sides.

Oh well. We'll try again today, and we'll keep trying until
we come up with a good product."

Makeshivt Kity solo project

2009-10-05T11:22:00.000-07:00

"I'm playing under the name "Jordan Elizabeth" for this next tour.
It's what my mother and father named me, and it's how I'm going to
present myself from now on.

I tried a lot of things when I was recording/performing as Makeshivt Kity and had a lot of fun, but this new album is about me...for the first time, I'm
writing a record about me.

All the other albums have been a story or written about my relationship
with someone else. I'm cutting out business and collaborations and
am taking the time to make simple acoustic ballads that make sense...
cus they are coming from a real place, place I understand a lot better than before."

Look out for Jordannah's new solo album:
"Patience".

A three song sample will be released this month.

The Process (Writing the new album)

2009-09-25T11:35:00.000-07:00

Jordannah's beginning to work on her new album
this weekend:

"I'm very nervous. I don't know why. I think it's because
I don't really know what goin' to come out of this project.
I was so sure with what I wanted to do with "Los Angeles"
and "The Holy Implant". But when I do my acoustic work
I find myself afriad of what I'm going to create. Because
it will be real and final.

The last records were written as a storey, something I can
pawn off as exaggerated, a version of the truth.

But when I do my solo work, I can't change anything.
I can't stop the ball from rolling.

Nonetheless, I hope everything will work out".

Look out for Jordannah Elizabeth's new solo album this winter.
It will be released with her label Trastienda.org.

2009-09-21T11:37:00.000-07:00

tape music. Just me and my guitar."

Jordannah's take on Digital Music

Thanks for everyone who's been listening to the new album and

It's exciting, user friendly, and the posabilities seem
to be endless.

..........................................

For the listeners, I'd like to let everyone know I'm doing the
best I can to make sure anyone across the world has access to
Makeshivt Kity music for FREE.

Cheers.

Listen to Makeshivt Kity's new release:

Jordannah's label www.trastienda.org has
released mastered version of the 10 track
album here!:

http://www.trastienda.org/author/makeshivt-kity

...........

Quote from Makeshivt Kity press release:

"The album is a lot more experimental.
I really wanted to express a sense of
realism when it comes to deeper
realms of uncomfortable and private emotions
with this album.

This record is heavy, and it can be little disturbing at times.
I tried things with my voice that still work in
the vain of anti folk, meaning unconventional and expressive,
because I was really trying to tell a story about a woman
who was losing it after losing everything.

The album is ultimately about failure...
it's about failing at everything and living with that fact.
It's the darkness before the turn of the tide...
and is a flip from Los Angeles, which was an album that really
reflected hope and innocence, I guess..."

Note from Jordannah:

Thanks for all the support and reviews from the underground
music heads. I love you!

Jordannah Returns to LoFi Tape Music Sounds

2009-08-15T16:58:00.000-07:00

Jordannah has recorded a solo singer/songwriter effort
called "Makeshivt Kity Live EP".

Makeshivt Kity hasn't recorded a solo album in two years.

"Sometimes, you just have to do things by yourself, and honestly,
it's the best album I've made in a long time. I feel comfortable
because it's just me and my guitar again. I think I got insecure about
being too...minimalist, too girly, and too really strange.
But after two years, I've grown to understand, I should
use my gifts just the way they are...no one can teach us how to express natural musical
waves or flow, or whatever."

Look out for the release of Makeshivt Kity Live EP here at The Process,

Are you unhappy with some of the releases?:

JE:
Whether or not the music comes out perfectly is not my issue. I have producers and if they don't do a good job, I have to work with what I have...I don't pay to record. Other artists take time out to work with me and help me with my art. I love what I do and I am going to support and love everything that comes out of the studio.

TP:
So, what are you going to do next?

JE:
I'm going to make some videos of...stuff. I don't really know exactly what I want to do, maybe make a video for "Move". Do some documentary stuff, interviews, live performance videos..you know, step it up.

TP:
Cool.

JE:
Yeah, I've been itching to make some videos... it's gonnah be really hard...I pretty much do everything I can by myself... I mean, I get help, but I do everything with pretty much a budget of zero...I'm a starving artist, I'll give up a lot of convenience for a voice recorder, or little a video camera, a digital camera...whatever I can get my hands on."

TP:
Do you really starve?

JE:
Sometimes. I mean, there are a lot of free places to eat in L.A. and in this country...but within the standards of the middle class, yeah, I live off of pennies. I make sure I have shampoo, hair color, soap, cash for laundry, and that's really about it, the rest goes to my art.

TP:
Do you enjoy living this way?

JE:
Yes and no. Everything revolves around what I want to do with my art. One month, I may want to get a device where I can record sound, the next month, I may want to take pictures, the next, I may want to do videos...so I travel around and look for devices will allow me to do that for the lowest prices, all the while dreaming up how I'm going to make everything happen.

Once I know what I want to do when it comes to my art, then I decide what I can spend on hair color, and what kind of toothpaste I can buy.

TP:
You say your work is "art", can you explain a little more about that?

JE:
I don't really know how to. I don't really consider myself a musician. I know musicians, they play an instrument and that's what they do. They don't work on posters or promote their work, they leave that stuff up to other people. They let directors and A&Rs, managers, lead singers, whoever, tell them what to do, cus all they want to do is play.
I respect that. That's just not what I do.

I pretty much determine how I present my music.
I am very vocal in how I want it to sound, I usually edit all my photos, every flier, every interview is done on my voice recorder, every article is done by my friends...I mean, I'm a model, a painter, a dancer, a performance artist, producer, director, event coordinator, booker, web designer, IT, graphic designer, slam poet, writer, blogger, I do a lot of things and I do them all in my own unique way.

TP:
I can tell you are a unique girl.

JE:
People tell me I'm different after talking to me for 5 minutes and I think to myself, "what could I have possibly said in this short time to come off as someone who's different?". I don't see it or hear it most of the time because I'm just being myself. I'm not a good impersonator...unless I'm making fun of someone, but I can't fake being someone I'm not, so I don't try, cus I know everyone will be on to me.

TP:
What's the most important thing about your art?

JE:
That I know I did all I could to make it happen. I travel, I lose sleep, I worry, I cry, I push and pull to get things out there.

TP:
Why?

JE:
Because.

TP:
Do you wonder what the world would be like if you didn't exist?

JE:
No. Well, when I was a little younger I'd talk to my mom about how she felt about me.
She almost got her tubes tied before I was born. She was called into the office to get the procedure done, and then something made her just walk out.

I think about that. A part of me knows I almost didn't exist. Sometimes I ask my mother if it was worth it, having my brothers and I. I don't get depressed about it, but yeah, sometimes, I get overwhelmed with...having this need to express myself.

TP:
You look a little exhausted right now.

JE:
Thanks.

TP:
I mean, watching you talk about your experience.

JE:
I run around a lot. And to some people it seems like I'm fooling around, doing nothing. I have my own methods of doing things, if I don't work, I volunteer at places that have access to things I need to get forward with my art and in my life.

Sometimes, I take a couple of years off and create, then go back to the rat race, then come back and create, you know...

TP:
Where are you in your creating period right now?

JE:
I'm almost done with this period... I want take a break around Christmas time.
I had a bunch of labels scouting me, then I put out an album that they don't like, so I lost the chance to get signed, but it's a blessing, cus I can continue to do what I want to do for now. They labels always check up on me every couple of years, sniff around. They'll pick me up when I'm ripe.

But for right now, I don't have to answer to anyone. I still have some cards I need to stack.
I'm still perfecting my image.

TP:
You don't think you're ripe?

JE:
No, I haven't found a stable band. The producers I work with have been a little distracted lately. I haven't found an ensemble to go on tour with yet.

I want to do that, tour for a couple of months in L.A., get a couple of videos, and live performances out there, then take a break.

I want to rest and find a boyfriend, get a dog to feed, try and stomach an Anne Rice book or something. Get a seemingly normal repetition of action going on. Then once everything gets nice and comfy, I'll bum around and create what I can again...it will all pay off some day. Some day.

Makeshivt Kity's Take on the "Sophomore Curse"

2009-08-06T11:10:00.001-07:00

"I'm going through a kind of a "sophomore curse" right now...
I put out an album called "Los Angeles" which was a industry darling, and then I recorded this moody, experimental album called "The Holy Implant LP" and everyone's kind of freaking out about it..."

"No, I can't make happy go lucky pop albums all the time...and I'm not always going to make heavy experimental psychodelic records either...it all depends on how I feel...if I like the song the way it is, unpolished...than so it shall remain."

While Makeshivt Kity is waiting to release "The Holy Implant LP" and her LoFi/B side EP "Lo B Fi Side" she looking to work with new artists and go on tour.

"I'm hoping to tour Los Angeles this winter...then record an album about the experience called "Silverlake Sunset"...so look out for that. Cheers"

an album cover yet!

I'm told Jordannah's going to go back to basics

The Holy Implant LP has heavy experimental moments
and she wants to get back to her anti folk roots.

Two guitars and her voice.
