A lot has changed since I last posted

Towards the end of the summer of 2025, my mother had a terrible accident and was in the hospital for over three months. She passed away on December 28, 2025. I am getting back into my music, along with some photography. I’m close to retirement, so I may just focus on artistic projects that are hopefully lucrative. I also intend to help seniors in some way with recreational activities. It’s been devastating losing my mother. She was my light and was always there for me. I will always miss her. I love you, Mom, forever! ❤

Remix of my song Fragments

Here’s a remix of my original song, Fragments, about how jumbled my life has been, moving between practicality and artistic dreams – not really taking more concrete steps. Things are changing for the better now! I’ve learned a lot about recording, and plan to get more serious about music promotion, along with photograpy. Enjoy!

New Remix of my song Sticky Summer Air

I just remixed this song again and thought I’d share it, considering it was created in 2013 during a sticky summer, as we are having now in Toronto! It was about recognizing that being sensitive is a gift. Enjoy! 🙂 https://www.reverbnation.com/karenelstone/song/19392604-sticky-summer-air
