Her upcoming EP, Tiny Ocean, opts to feature a baroque pop sound informed by her classical training, incorporating vocals pedals to modulate her voice alongside an opulent array of serpentine layers.
*This is a special event and will start at 7pm sharp!* -Listening Event- "Contour of the vase, of the rose a silhouette offers the same profile The practice may fade but remains in tact "An empty apartment" life is life - nothing more, nothing less.

This extensive effort of a body of work realized over the course of eight months - three seasons "Metamorphosis" is a deep immersive listen that aptly exhibits the growth and maturing nature of the project. Recorded in Providence, RI 2015-2016." Clandestine Compositions 11
