DOMES is out in the world today! Comprised of 7

DOMES is out in the world today!

Comprised of 7 cyclical cello drone pieces that emerged from a quiet place of reflection and improvisation, Domes represents my first fully instrumental collection of work. These atmospheric meanderings began as a way to connect with the cello again - not just to understand what we can do with the instrument, but what the sound it emits can do to us.

The pieces feel, to me, like grounding sounds, strong, able to bear weight. They build and fall away, like the peaks and valleys of emotions, the gradual accretion and erosion of a landform, or the construction and deconstruction of an edifice.

The 7 pieces on Domes represent shape, support, and mass. They form a series of layered, repeated melodies which, in practice, made me feel calm, relieved, and curious. I hope it has the same effect for the listener.

DOMES is available today via @dauwlabel for limited edition vinyl preorder, cassette, and pay what you wish for digital/streaming on @bandcamp exclusively for 14 days. Streaming on all other platforms will be available after the 2 week period.

Thank you @dauwlabel for releasing this record as part of your beautifully curated label. And to @bropeterick for additional arrangement, processing & mixing, @djamesgoodwin for mastering,@femkestrijbol for making the beautiful artwork.

It feels like it’s been 200 years since I played

It feels like it’s been 200 years since I played a show. Despite the jarring shift to lockdown, after spending the majority of my life on the road, taking a break from touring has been good in many ways - and something I may not have chosen if left to my own devices. It has helped me prioritize things that are most important, let go of things that needed letting go, and given me the chance to dive into creativity and songwriting in a deeper way. I thought I’d be sharing a lot of new music this year, but the delays at pressing plants have pushed things out. So, next year it is. I hope it feels like riding a bike when I finally do get back on a stage, but I can’t wait to play new songs loud, outside of the house when the time comes!

Literally the last waltz on this beloved Baldwin Monarch before it returns to its family in Washington state. So grateful for all the hours I’ve been able spend with this beautiful instrument & all the songs it’s helped me write. Sad to see it go but seems fitting to be capturing it one last time for beautiful new tunes w/ @aleladiane @floramartine

Link in bio to listen to White Hot Heat- a new single @petermmurray and I wrote and recorded remotely during quarantine.

The song is a languid reflection on the tipping point of transitional moments - that intersection that occurs in the self, in relationships, and in society where the old boils over and becomes new.

Thanks for listening! ❤️

It was an absolute pleasure to spend stints of 2018 on tour with my good friends @aleladiane & @mirabaipeart! After our tours we decided to record a live album of all the tunes we’d been playing together - to capture these versions of Alela’s beautiful songs that we’d really settled into as our folky trio. Today the first single ‘Take Us Back’ is streaming, and you can preorder the record that will be released on April 9th. Link in bio to take a listen and preorder 💛

Happy Solstice and Happy Holidays!

Despite the challenges of the year, I have so much to be thankful for. My heart goes out to those who have been suffering and those putting their lives at risk to fight the many viruses, old and new.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me through music and other ways this year. It means the world. I look forward to sharing a lot of new things in the new year, and I’m hopeful that things will begin to turn around.

In between writing for my next releases I’ve been enjoying writing some instrumentals. This one always felt like some kind of lullaby or carol. Sending love, warmth, and hope to you all.

Hang in there everyone! Stay safe, stay home, and please keep wearing your masks! X

Soundcheck recording of a song I never recorded or released. This was our one and only run through of this song back in Dec 2015 while out on tour in support of Glider. We never performed the song in front of a live audience, but looking back at this video I’m reminded of how fun and inspiring it was to play with the likes of @namesofwar & @jasonbemislawrence on this tune and all the music we’ve made together. Basically I miss touring! And playing music with friends! Fondly remembering this tour with these guys + @jessemarchant @guttersparrow
Hope to be back out there again soon 🤍

Hard to believe my first record was released 11 ye

Hard to believe my first record was released 11 years ago! When I started writing my own music I never imagined I’d write songs with words. I was much more interested in classical composition and ambient drone music. This record is a document of sorts in that shift, as it’s a split of songs with words and instrumentals.

Recorded mixed and performed w/ my brother @bropeterick

My brothers and I were lucky enough to grow up listening to her play music in the house, but it’s amazing that @westernvinyl is putting this collection of recordings from over the years out for all to hear. Thanks to @bropeterick for putting it together, and congrats Ma! I love you ❤️

I used to sit in this room and play music for my cat. Thinking of Elijah, Breonna Taylor and the countless others who have been murdered at the hands of police brutality, and who’s killers are still free. ⁣

Without justice and equality, and the removal of white supremacy from our leadership there can be no peace.

I, like many others, have a hard time knowing what

I, like many others, have a hard time knowing what to say in response to the recent displays and retaliation against systemic racism and oppression. I understand that as a white individual I have privilege that I have underutilized. I understand that I have contributed to the problem. I am ashamed that so many people of color have been harmed or had their lives taken by the hands of white supremacy and hatred, and at our collective lack of action against it. I am deeply disturbed, angry, embarrassed and grief stricken at the current state. I know I cannot change the past, and I know that in order to prevent history from repeating itself we need to stand together peacefully, be persistent and loud, remain as active as we can to promote change on any level that we are able. There are so many ways to participate in positive change. There is so much information available. We can all do more. I will do more, I will speak up, I will stand up, I will donate, I will educate myself, I will remember the names of those who have been murdered as a result of our complicity, I will learn, and I commit to this active participation long term with love and solidarity.
There are countless organizations to donate to. Links to a handful of them on the next page.

Today marks the one year anniversary of ‘Invitaiton.’ I’m so grateful for the experience of making this record with such an incredible group of musicians, and to everyone who has supported me over the years in my musical journey. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Invitation was written in a small cabin on the Oregon Coast. The landscape and character of my surroundings while writing were greatly influential in the sonic scape and lyrical content of the record, so it was important to me to support the music from Invitation with visuals that felt akin to its source.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As a celebration of it’s release and a continuation in visual collaboration to support the record, @graysoncoxstudio and I teamed up to create this ltd edition screen print. The base of the print is a pen and ink drawing that I made over the course of writing Invitation. The silhouette mirrors the iconic Haystack rock that sits offshore in the coastal town where I was living - a pinnacle and source of inspiration noted in the record. The iridescent veil is both a visual representation of the moody coastal horizon and the beauty that lies beyond fog so to speak.⁣⁣

While on tour in November with @thebuildingmusic, we stopped over at Three Century Farm and spent memorable evening with @daniel.carl.the.fox and @maurajames who were posted up there as artists in residence. They shot and produced this acoustic session along with @rl3productions on the font porch - capturing the beauty of the place, and most importantly, my favorite cat in GA, Squeak. 💛Link in bio
