About this Event
“A soundtrack for a planet being born…this music feels like something that’s existed within us for millennia, but only now has someone been able to tap into its visceral nature and extract it for all the world to hear. Exquisite”.
Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis
“Her intensely lyrical use of the instrument shines through, gentle bows of the strings summoning soft groans and shivering luminescence.”
Daryl Worthington, The Quietus
