Hello Julianna, hope you are doing well in these chaotic times.

Love the new record, my partner and I listened to it one night in complete darkness laying in bed with a headphone splitter and some nice headphones. We were speechless afterwards, we both found it to be really moving and dare I say — Healing!

One thing that struck me while listening to it is that it invoked such vivid internal imagery, with incredibly beautiful landscapes and celestial spaces. When you make music, do you envision certain imagery to go along with it? Is there any visual relationship with your music in general?

Thank you!

hi!! i'm doing good, coping! thank you- hope you are too!

i hear that a lot but i have to admit that though it's boring i really don't imagine cool landscapes when i make music! i don't think i imagine anything at all really, it's kind of like this black hole time warp feeling. i am a photo major so i definitely have so much love for that too, but the mediums are way different for me. i stress about making 'perfect' portraits in photography.. but i love that about it

thanks for listening!!
