Amplified violin and electric guitar by Laura Ortman (White Mountain Apache)
Recorded in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 2020

A violinist of 40 years, Laura Ortman has customized her style and strength to bring to life the transfer from instrument to sound that approaches, lingers about, and then cohabitates in spaces to represent her specialized displays of mass, exuberant dark, and light. She also plays the Apache violin, electric guitar, amplified Helpinstill piano, sings through a megaphone, captures field recordings, and plays a variety of percussive instruments that will also be incorporated into the album. Collaborating with other STTLMNT artists on this album in music, sound, artworks, broadcast, conversation, movement, and beyond is very important too. Encompassing ideas of the intention to express a story and soundtrack of STTLMNT is a circle that is going to be heard. Making this album throughout the occupation helps capture times that enlivens worlds that creates beliefs of where we are, where we are from and its ingrained messages of existence.

THIS IS THE KICK-OFF TRACK...further dialogue and collaborations for this album go from here+*+*+*+*+*!!!
