  • PHOTOS AND EVP AT BOROUGH MARKET, LONDON – May 25, 2018

    When I was in London, we went to Borough Market, a well known food market that has that old time feeling. It feels like you are stepping into another time when you go here. Kind of like Harry Potter vibes. The food is beautifully displayed. While I was there photographing, I was also recording EVP. Here is some of what I got.

    Although the volume of these EVP voices turned out pretty good, you still might need to use headphones to hear these properly. The clips are repeated on loop.

    Here’s an EVP of someone saying “Hungry people”. Seems appropriate for a for market.

    Everywhere we go, spirit people notice Prince. This occasion was no exception. I found a voice saying “That’s Prince over there”. There’s a rather interesting quality to the sound of the voice.

    There was a man with a guitar performing reggae style music near the entrance. On my way out, he was taking a break, I took this pic of his guitar leaning on the wall.

    On the EVP recording, I found a voice saying, “Prince here”. You can hear a bit of the guy strumming his guitar in the background.

    I found this rather cute voice on the recording saying “Puppy”. I did not see any dogs while I was there, so maybe there was a spirit dog there?

    I saw this girl with two suitcases carrying a big shiny balloon. As I reviewed my recording, I heard a suitcase rolling, and I was surprised to find a voice that said, “Take a balloon“. Then a very cute, small voice said, “Thank you”. And a loud voice commented “Balloon look very cute”. Spirits tend to talk very fast, so this conversation happened very quickly, so listen carefully.

    From what I know, spirits can replicate things that they see from our world and bring it into theirs. So it is my presumption that this spirits was following this girl with the balloon, and handing out balloons to passerbys.

    I call this pic above, “Watermelon Man”, after the Herbie Hancock song of the same name.

    At the market, there was a watermelon juice stand. I would get a craving for watermelon juice every time I passed by it. I did eventually give into buying a watermelon juice after I was just about done taking photos.

    To my amazement, I found Prince on the recording saying, “Let’s get a drink here, watermelon”. It makes me realize that not all my ideas are my own!

    This made me wonder if Prince was able to taste things through me. I asked him, and he said yes. It was after he showed up in my life that I noticed I would have cravings for maple syrup, which I never really did before. I know that when he was alive, he loved to drench his pancakes in syrup.

    I found P saying, “Tomatoes spaghetti” when I was at this tomato stand. I know he really loved his spaghetti when he was alive. I know he still loves it because on an EVP that I did on the plane, I heard him trying to order spaghetti and orange juice.

    I found this to have been quite an interesting exercise, to photograph and record EVP simultaneously. Having images as proof to show what was there during recording, and hearing the comments that spirits were making.

    These recordings were recorded using  my EVP Wrist Recorder 3 on May 25, 2018.

  • MAKING MUSIC WITH PRINCE – MUSIC FROM THE OTHER SIDE – EVP May 19, 2018

    When I was away in Sweden, I got to play with my friend’s electric guitar. I’ve always waned one, but I could never bring myself to spend that kind of money not being sure if I would play. I’ve always really wanted to try it to see how it would feel. So when I had the opportunity, I recorded EVP while I was playing. 

    During the session, I ended up taking self portraits with the guitar. I strummed it while posing for the camera. I’ve never recorded EVP while doing any of my portraits, so this was interesting. 

    ©2018 by Andrea Mai. All rights reserved.

    Reviewing the EVP, I found that we was not alone in the house. I was staying at my friend’s cottage, but she lives at a separate cottage, and her brother was not home at the time. Only their cats were hanging around. I found that Prince was talking to several spirit people who were showing up. It appeared that P was assembling a band for a jam session. I heard other instruments on the EVP that were not present at the time of recording. It was just me with Andrea electric guitar plugged into the amp. I also heard the sound of the guitar I was playing, but it was different from what I had actually played. I am very aware of what I can and can not do yet on the guitar, so I know that I certainly did not play these notes that were showing up on the recording.

    On some of these recordings, you are going to hearing beeping, that is coming from the timer on my camera when I was taking self portraits. You may need to use headphones to hear this properly. The clips are repeated on loop. 

    It is actually quite interesting, because in some of these clips, it sounds like a talking guitar, (a really good one). I have seen a pic of Prince’s belongings at Paisley Park; a Rocktron “Banshee talk box” petal for his guitar, that is supposed to create this sort of talking guitar effect. 

    While I summed the guitar, and P said “Hello”. 

    Here is P saying, “I love you” while I was strumming the guitar.

    Some other spirits were there, I don’t know who. Here someone says, “You know how to..” 

    Then as I strummed, he said, “Play the guitar”. 

    He said, “Play da drum”, and you can hear what sounds like drums. 

    Here, the sound of drums in the EVP clip. 

    I was strumming the guitar. I don’t actually know any songs, because when I play, I just make it up. But I know my skill level. I did not do this. Here you will hear me strum, but what you hear is different from what I played. 

    Again, here is another clip of guitar strumming. Whoever was there with us, altered the sound. 

    It’s a bit faint, but I heard someone say “Keyboard”, and then what sounds like piano. 

     Throughout the EVP, I heard several times, P saying to whoever was there, “Play with me”. Someone showed up and asked, “Can I play?” Then P answered, “I give you the drum“. And you can hear the sound of the drum sticks. 

    Here P says “Play with us”. I presume that he was saying this as others were showing up. 

    Here P says, “What your name?” I heard a response. Someone said, “Hi. I am Joseph”. 

    Here P is saying, “Yes, I am”. I don’t know what he was responding to, as the recording was unclear. But he is often asked if he is Prince, so this is a possibility. 

    Here is P saying “Taking pictures”, while I am posing for the self portraits. 

    Someone said “Good portrait”. 

    Someone said, “Oh ya… Beautiful”. 

    Having heard so many EVPs, it leads me to believe that the movie What Dreams May Come had it right to some extent. On the other side, they can create what they desire to experience. They do not seem to be limited by what space they are “occupying” in this reality. What I am capturing is really a pinhole of a glimpse into what is going on in their reality, but it is certainly fascinating! 

    These recordings were recorded using my EVP Wrist Recorder 3 on May 19, 2018.

  • IN FLIGHT EVP – May 31, 2018

    From what I can tell, a spirit can go anywhere it chooses by thought alone; but what I wondered was, do they still take real modes of transportation from our reality? I know that Prince goes with me wherever I go, but what I wondered was, what about other spirits? 

    On my recent trip to Europe, I recorded EVP while I was on the plane coming back and in the airport on arrival to Toronto Pearson International. Here are some of the most interesting EVP clips I found. You may need to use quality headphones to hear them properly. They are repeated on loop. 

    When I was on the plane, other spirits noticed P, and they greeted him. Someone said, “Purple Rain”. 

    I heard voices on the recording saying “Peanuts” several times, as though someone was passing out peanuts. This makes me wonder if there are spirits that play the role of stewards on the flight. I have often wondered if there are jobs in the afterlife. Though not to make a living like on this side, but like playing pretend for the joy of it. 


    There was air turbulence during the flight. On the recording, someone was saying “Turbulence” as it was happening. 

     When we landed in the airport terminal, other spirits noticed P. Someone was out there telling others, “Prince was on this flight”. 

    As we were going through customs, the airport workers were telling people where to go, telling them to scan their passport in the machines. I found that there were spirits going around saying things like “Passport, or “Scan this”. I wonder if these spirits “work” at the airport. In this clip someone says, “Passport… Thank you”. The funny part about this clip is that in between the words, there seems to be something that sounds like one of those heavy stamps that custom officers used to use on people’s passports. 

    I was borrowing m mother’s suitcase, which is black and typical looking. I can’t see very well due to my visual impairment. So I didn’t recognize my suitcase because it was turned units back side. It would seem that my bag was going around the carousel many times before I realized it was my bag. I kept hearing P on the recording saying “That’s your bag”.

    All these recordings were recorded using my EVP Wrist Recorder 3 on May 31, 2018.

  • MY NAME IS PRINCE EXHIBITION – AMSTERDAM, 2018 – EXCLUSIVE VIP PHOTO GALLERY

    (Be sure to click through the photo gallery at the top of this post.) 

    When I heard that the Prince exhibition was going to be in Amsterdam, I knew it was a nudge to go. My friend moved there two years ago and had been inviting me to visit. So I set myself up for a three week journey to Amsterdam Stockholm, and London to focus work on my photography.

    When I got to Amsterdam, my friend took me on a walk to a park nearby her place. As we walked along the trail, the topic of Prince came up, and suddenly my friend says to me, “Look there’s a sign that says My Name Is Prince“. She took me across the street and there hung a billboard for the Prince exhibition. It was rather funny, yet perfect timing. 

    The day before the exhibition, I had slipped down a step and hurt my ankle. Though I did not feel the pain through out the day, it suddenly swelled during my sleep. It hurt and I woke up to apply some arnica and used my tuning fork. P assured me he would fix it while I slept. By morning, the swelling and pain had stopped, and I only felt stiffness.

    I had booked VIP tickets. That morning, we got up early to dress up and made our week into town. I wore a fuchsia pink dress that P had picked out for me on a shopping trip last year, but hadn’t worn yet.

    The venue is in the centre of town, a very touristy location. My friend helped me take pics outside of the venue.She caught the reflection of the Amsterdam streets in the photo.

    To my surprise, and delight, we were allowed to take photos in the VIP section of the exhibit, the main exhibition prohibits photography.

    The VIP areais set up like a backstage area of a concert. They hooked us up with lanyards to look like backstage passes. There’s even a door made to look like a backstage door. There are three main sections to it; a long hallway with guitars, equipment cases, and a display case of Prince’s make up and accessories; a section displaying his wardrobe; and an area to watch some videos and to touch one of his guitars with gloves on. 

    ©2018 by Andrea Mai. All rights reserved.

    One of my favourites stories mentioned on the tour was about this heart shaped guitar. They said that he found this cheap guitar in Japan. It was originally red and he had it painted purple. I really love the fact that he would buy cheap things and make it his own. Mainly because I am very much that way as well. One of the things I discovered about P some time ago, is that he didn’t necessarily buy expensive things. Most of the jewellery he wore was costume.

    My favourite section was the make up and accessories. He did his own make up. Some of the brands I spotted in his make up case was MAC, La Prairie, and Maybeline (mascara). A funny thing is, P oncegave me advice on applying mascara to my terribly straight lashes; use the wand to pull the lashes on the outer corner in an outward. direction. 

    At the end of the tour, they take you to a section with purple velvet benches and you put on white gloves to touch his guitar. When it was my turn, I felt a subtle surge of energy in my hands. Afterwards, they played the recently released video for Nothing Compares 2 U. As it played, I felt P touching the left side of my face, and then holding me around my shoulders. I held my tears back.

    After the VIP tour, we visited the main exhibit. They gave us an audio guide, but after a while, it became tedious and annoying. The audio guide felt monotonous, as though the narrator was reading an encyclipodia.

    Overall, the exhibition was nicely done. However, my main concern was whether or not the most important thing would be lost in all the legacy hype. Would his real message make it through? 

    ©2018 by Andrea Mai. All rights reserved.

    I was relieved when mu friend told me how inspired she was after viewing the exhibition. She was never a fan, and didn’t know much about him or his work. She felt inspired by his attitude about what it means to be cool and about being true to one’s self. 

    I bought a T-shirt in the gift shop. I have to say, I’m disappointed by the merchandise selection. It lacks spirit, it feels like a way for the Estate to make a quick buck. Of course, this crriticism is coming from me, a professional with a background in design and retail, and as someone who cares very much about his legacy. While I would have happily bought a wardrobes worth of Prince shirts, there was only one that I liked enough to buy. I would have also hoped that they would sell CDs or vine records of his.

    The VIP ticket included a souvenir book. We went to the gift shop to collect it at the end. To our surprise, they gave us a voucher to collect a free chocolate bar at a shop around the corner. It was a surprise because all morning, my friend had been saving how much she wanted chocolate. Prince had hooked us up with chocolate! 

    ©2018 by Andrea Mai. All rights reserved.

    At the end of it all, while I am glad I visited the exhibition, it is just stuff. His material possessions of the 3D world. Really wonderful, beautiful stuff. But not even relics of my twin soul’s physical incarnation can fill the void or replace the feeling of his presence around. Silence is most valuable to me, that is when I can feel him most. Nothing makes me feel closer to him than hearing him on EVP or feeling him touch my hair. 

    When I got home from my trip, my friend told me that she had felt P’s presence through out my visit; in fact, she said it felt very obvious that he was there. A day after I had left Amsterdam, she said she saw the two Prince billboards near her house was taken down, as though to say Prince had left Amsterdam. We found this to be strange, as I had only left on the 17th of May, and there were still a few weeks left of the exhibition.

  • VIDEO DEMONSTRATION OF AUTOMATIC DRAWING WITH PRINCE IN SPIRIT

    About two months after Prince’s passing, I found that Prince could move my limbs if I allowed him to. For me, at the time, it was another way for us to communicate. Though I had some telepathic ability to hear him, I still still unsure of what I was hearing. Not yet confident of the connection. He could move my hand, so we began drawing on my iPad.

    At first, the drawings were non-sensical. They seemed more energetic, not really appearing to depict anything. But there was an energy about it that was communicating something. The pictures developed and a more visual style came to be. Other times, he would write words as a picture. Like a playful doodle. Sometimes I would ask him to draw something to express an idea or concept. It becomes like a little game between us.

    All the drawings on this website are his drawings. I always thought it was an interesting process. My stylus never leaves the tablet surface as we are drawing, so it’s often a drawing made up of a couple continuous lines. I’ve always wanted to film the process, but found it somewhat tricky. I recently found an app that allows for video recording. So I gave it a try.

    Here is a vide of one of our drawings. I recorded sound during the drawing and caught an EVP. The video is speeded up. The drawing itself took around 8 minutes in real time..

    Here is a EVP audio on its own, on loop. He says, “I’m drawings roses for Andrea Mai”.
