Artist History
The roots of the sound? The process? The goal? Individual influences melt, meet, together, into one another, at the core. Embracing one another, dancing harmonies, weaving the sounds into a blanket of fleece, painting the song from a palette of sounds, notes, rhythms, and poems. Everything comes across the chasm to meet a single set of ears, another mind that will repaint the song on it's own canvas. The goal is to make the chasm glow with the sound, warm the space and invite the listener in. Shorten the distance across. Tame the fire. Shed the static. Hold the words in our hands. And time; time means nothing when you're in that embrace. |
