Strata
Music aged in time, resonating from the surface to the corethrough layers and sediments of stones — the strata. Four morning recording sessions with a separation between them of between three and ten months — a chronozone that will rest for a time and on which the next one will be added, thus forming the total of the six pieces of the album — becoming six strata.
A slow-moving album that develops landscapes of subtle but continuous evolution, where we find layers of diverse nature created from d…

Trained as a dancer from an early age, Michelle brings a heightened spatial sensitivity to her practice: an intuitive understanding…
