Erin Jorgensen

Artist/musician Erin Jorgensen creates a sound world that is part yoga nidra, part punk rock, her music conjures up a musical palette with lots of space for the listener to fill in the blanks. Using a five-octave marimba, both acoustic and amplified, with intimate vocals, backing electronics, and stream-of-consciousness thoughts, her soundscapes are ideal for closed eyes, 3 AM thoughts, and dreams.
