Music for your Shadow

About Me

Who Is Queen Moonracer?
There is a certain mystery surrounding the legend of Queen Moonracer. A little known nature spirit, beloved champion of the orphaned and malformed, the afflicted are sometimes visited by her in dreams. She may take the form of a snake, or a three-legged hare. If she appears as the Red Fairy, it marks a time of great change.
About the Music
Try taking something broken and making something new out of it. Don't try and make the same thing that it was before. Sit with the broken thing, try and feel it's elements, it's essence. What does it want to be? Try not to let your preconceptions interfere with that.
Praise for The Secret Life of Plants
“I crawled out of my stomach flu to give this a listen. It’s awesome, of course...it makes me think of, grappling with the big meanings, like the ocean, the sky, the trees, the Why? But, I go back to the elements, nature – there’s some elemental happening...”
-Muire Dougherty, filmmaker

Nature vs. Human

I feel like the world we know (the natural world that is), needs to be listened to, sat with, felt. It's not going to yell out to us, over all our din; we need to listen.
