Story

I’m Timo Peach, the bloke from Momo:tempo, and I’ve written a special new piece testifying to the incredibly strange times we’re all suddenly living in – it’s a song called, Pandemonstrate.

As all of us are so mindful of our health workers and their challenges responding to the pandemic, it can be hard to know how best to demonstrate a response that feels meaningful enough. I’ve felt it. Living through this crisis is such a weird experience for everyone, in so many unequal, different ways, we’re all having to process a lot as we try to find support, find work, look after each other and watch some things helplessly.

So I’m mindful of the next health challenge brewing seriously all around us – how we make sense of all this and find good mental wellness, looking to such an uncertain-seeming future.

That’s why I’d like to put all sales of Pandemonstrate to the charity Mind, and for me that means Dorset Mind, the team keeping on the lights of response where I live.

I know a few of the team there and how concerned they are for people’s mental health coming through this crisis and how to help you or anyone find advice and help.

I’m trying to raise £2,000 to help them fund the team’s work into the summer, and you can help me do that in a couple of ways – you can give something directly on this page, or you can buy the single on Bandcamp, all sales from which will go towards this goal.

As a music maker and a creative, I’m interested in how ordinary us lot can find empowering ways to engage with the complex story we find ourselves part of, in such times of transition and change. I am convinced that allowing ourselves to explore creativity and artistic responses to the worlds around us and within us can help us write whole new stories of us – but I think it starts by acknowledging it’s all pretty overwhelming.

Don’t feel completely alone. In this, you’re not. We can all help and find help in making sense of where we are.

Thank you so much for sharing, giving and considering how you can pandemonstrate an emotionally healthier world beyond this current crisis.
