Law of Motion

For valentines day 2023 I bought myself a Korg volca sample, and for my birthday I ordered a Behringer Pro VS from the UK. Having some new sounds inspired me to get my groove back and bang out a release to set a strident tone for 2024. Buckle up! Law of Motion is available on all the major streaming services. If you want to be a good art friend, you can get it on bandcamp via the widget below.

Is This Thing On?

I recently started performing at open mics in hopes that the more practice I get playing in front of people the less of a deer in headlights demeanor I will project at gigs! I typically take my Sad Veiled Bride shtick to one or two open mics a week. The Takoma Spark open mic is an intimate event hosted at School of Musical Traditions and livestreamed, which keeps me on my best behavior. 

The open mic at El Golfo, an El Salvadoran restaurant with amazing vegan options, provides a backdrop of table chatter and sizzling platters. The incredibly talented host, Juels Bland, cultivates an extemporaneous atmosphere. Thanks to Greg for the photo below.

Breaking the Seal

I managed to avoid getting COVID for almost 3 years but have just tested positive. So far the symptoms have been mild: just a low grade fever for a few days, and a slight sore throat and cough. I am following CDC guidance and isolating. The hard part is isolating from my cat! I am sleeping on the floor of my music studio so she gets the bed to herself. I have cancelled all my holiday plans and am trying not to let the prospect of Christmas alone make me sad. I am so grateful for grocery store delivery, streaming media, and bivalent vaccines. Please mask up and stay safe!
