Juxtaposed
Juxtaposed moves sounds from language and music into a new cultural landscape. The stories are about the moments when we look for something that appears unreachable and about the triumphant moments when we find it. The songs hold both the tension and the release, and the places that appear familiar are reimagined.
I love how creation happens through improvisation: an arrangement or a mistake while performing that leads to something else, or even having to improvise in your every day life. I have always believed that what appears to be throwing life out of order is actually a blessing.
