November 2024 Update

MUSIC

I have a new 60 minute draft of all original music produced by Architect V!

Enough songs for an album and no repeats from my 30 minute mix "First Build."

I hope to share it with the world soon.

PHOTOGRAPHIC POETRY

I'm half-way to my goal of 100 poetic pieces of rhymes, images, and art.

I got in the zone making "Zoned For This." It is a song with momentum representing my momentum with music creation. It includes my vocals. The image is a photo of me with a zoning map overlaid on top.

"Fireproof" is my second song share. I wanted to create something unique. Instead of a song called "Fire," mine is "Fireproof."

"Let Me Build" is the intro to my self-produced mix, First Build. It's the first song I uploaded to Bandcamp.com. It asks to let me do what I like: build music.

Architect V is Victoria Ellison, the music producer, poet, and California licensed Architect. After years of developing my skills, I am finally sharing my creations.

To give a brief history: I was born August 23, 1986. I grew up in Southern California, mostly in Palmdale, CA, with three brothers and one sister all close in age. A lot of my childhood was playing sports, soccer being my favorite. I was in band and loved making burned CD mixes of all kinds. I got good grades and went to UC Berkeley. My older brother passed away in a car accident when I was in college. After graduation, I worked at architecture firms in the San Francisco Bay Area for 11 years doing residential, plus some commercial and accessibility. I married and got my Architects license. While modeling buildings, I listened to music. My passion for music grew as I attended shows and festivals, started making mixes, joined a DJ meetup group, and took music production lessons. When I'm emotional, I write poems, typically rhyming, which I think of as lyrics. Hot yoga was a constant part of my life for a decade and after the pandemic, I got my yoga teacher certification.

Everything has changed in the last couple years. I quit my office job, moved back to Southern California, and am getting divorced. I did architecture for schools for a bit. I run, shop, read, and visit family, but spend most of my time creating: music, poetry, and art.
