█ Release Notes █
█ █
█ ôAllegoriesö is a collection of music and poetry composed over the past █
█ year in an effort to change stories of pain and fear into stories of █
█ grace. Inspired by the elegant movements of animals, birds, and insects, █
█ this collection hopes to charm, and sometimes challenge, the listener. █
█ █
█ Michelle Seaman █
█ █
█ "You can only really compare the voice to a good single malt; its silky █
█ brilliance and complexity, the music to the kind of smoke you used to █
█ see in a jazz club; a kind of wispy grey/blue, spiraling out of sight. █
█ █
█ It's not often you come across such a good match but when you do, █
█ there's no option but to stop and pay attention. It might be manipulated █
█ sound and poetry, it might just be a good cup of coffee and a cigarette. █
█ Either way, both sit together perfectly, and it's never just the pairing █
█ of the two that makes it work. The collision of sound and poetry are █
█ only two ingredients in the mix. Like hydrogen and oxygen it's not just █
█ the two together - there's something else there; maybe even imagined - █
█ but it's still there. █
█ █
█ Down and up, the pelican and the girl, the peacock and the kitty, not █
█ quite the dolphin and the monkey, precision and imprecision, Fred and █
█ Ginger. Pairs. Equals. Complimenting but shifting. You know how it is; █
█ there are no words. You might say a pas de deux, you might say in █
█ harmony. It doesn't matter what you'd say; just listen and enjoy.ö █
