about

This album has been a slow labour of love; working on it a slightly guilty pleasure among the more pressing activities of life. Gratefully supported by an Arts Tasmania Wilderness Residency grant in 2017, I wrote this music during many solitary hours in a cold and humid cave in absolute darkness, the only sound the odd drip of stalactite growing. The cavernous space was sometimes fertile and comforting, sometimes silent and still. This music is best listened to in a quiet place. If you're at home, make yourself a cup of moonmilk, run a hot bath, turn out the lights and sink into cave time.

about

Emily Sheppard TAS, Australia

Emily Sheppard explores the extremities of violin and viola playing. Written in the depths of caves, in blackened forests and submerged in kelp forests, her music evokes landscapes, imagined and real. A haunting and emotive deep listening experience.
