Song & Dance by *sigh*

various songs and Recordings of *sigh* circa June 2020

This project is one of exploration. Over the past 8 months or so, I've been revisiting past me. I saw how at times in my life, I lived more vibrantly. I listened to the world as if it were a song, read texts as poetry, felt people like sculptures, etc. This is part of my journey returning to that vibrant me.

Because of that, each experience is very personal and carries many layers... But...

It was my purpose to release this. When creating each sound, I thought of you. On a road trip looking for some decent vibey music, scrolling through on your laptop early in the morning, distracting yourself whilst you should be working, whatever you are doing, wherever you are, WHOever I intentionally am sharing each second of these songs with you. I hope that means as much to you as it does to me.

There are so many many layers in these tracks for me, they are open to interpretation. I would love to hear your experience with Song & Dance and am more than happy to share mine. Message me if you feel so inclined *polite smile as I sit in front of forever empty Gmail page*
