about

‘Kaleidoscope’ is a genre-fluid EP written as a soundscape for visual and performance presentations — in film, movement, theatre.

In these songs I produced with a new collaborator, BigFootinyourface, I tried to make moments and spaces reflective of my moments with music and sound whenever I listened or tried to flesh out a song/arrangement idea.

There are spaces I coast in, where words don’t feel enough. I let out whatever comes out of me and do not try hard to find words if they aren’t there. In feeling through my emotions while writing and recording ‘Kaleidoscope’, I let these moments play.

We played with elements from different genres — Classical, Electronica, Folk, Rock — to make soundscapes. In this project, I play more with my voice, stretching it in my improv vocal compositions to play as an instrument in its right.

Each song – except the intro – has its intermission ( what I call interludes and an allusion to my love for film). I imagined having songs playing like two sides of a coin.

As an artist looking to explore intersections of music and other mediums or expressions, I’d like to see ’Kaleidoscope‘ expand past being just a music project but also see all the ways she could go in collaboration with other artists — filmmakers, visual artists, performance artists etc.

’Kaleidoscope‘ is also open for remix commissions (more info on that soon)
