Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing the rare and complex Buchla 100 modular synthesizer, the acclaimed electronic composer crafts a deeply organic, heavily textured masterpiece. The record beautifully interweaves traditional woodwind sections with bubbling analog electronics and her own heavily manipulated, breathy vocals. It is a wildly inventive, surrealist journey that successfully bridges the gap between classic new age music and modern avant-pop.
