The story:
I don’t think music is created by any one person, it is also created by the moment in which you find yourself in. If I wouldn’t have met exactly those people I met and felt my heart full because of those encounters, if I wouldn’t have sat exactly in that tree on the top of that hill at that time of the day in that moment when a gust of wind appeared, then the words that came to mind would have been very different, if anything at all.
Writing these three songs I found myself living with a few people on a remote permaculture project named Terra Alta near the whirling Atlantic ocean. My home, a hut nestled in-between grand cork oak trees gave rise to wondrous dreams.
I would find myself ether waking up frantically writing down a dream I just had, which is how the song “fallen stars” arose, or climbing onto the pine tree at the top of the hill which is where “light” appeared, or being blown away at the cliffs where “wind” was written.
Thanks to this landscape, a blockage I had since teenage years unravelled. I had been scared to write songs because of my own perfectionism and fear of sharing my inner landscape, yet this landscape taught me that words are not mine to be afraid of, they are ours to share.
This EP is my next great adventure. One that encompasses a lifetime of love for music and landscapes within and without.
Why I need your support:
As mentioned I don’t think music is created by any one person and this includes all it takes to produce an EP. All the many people that are involved in the process - musicians, producers, photographers etc, they are what makes it happen and so are the people that decide to support the process. Each one is as vital as the other!
The funds raised will go directly into recording and producing in a professional studio, mixing and mastering the tracks, as well as promoting the EP to reach a wider audience.
Timeline:
The aim is to raise all funds be the end of August 2024 to then continue producing the rest of the EP and release it latest by the end of 2024.
And finally:
It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for the support you are willing to give. I know this is something you read a lot but it’s really true that every penny counts in bringing this dream to fruition! If you are not able to support financially, just sharing this campaign with family and friends already makes a huge difference.
From my heart to yours thank you for being a part of this collaborative adventure!
With love,
Jenny
