About Me

Encouraged by a dear friend I started recording songs at home. Inspired by an endless list of recorded music, chance encounters, poetry, film, concerts, jams........ I recently finished recording my first solo album 'the Demolition Series'. Guest musicians include; Torben Tilly, Jimmy Trash, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Anthony Pieretti and Lucinda Dayhew, thank you!
available now online!! you can listen to the entire album at www.armedorphan.com
'Jasmina Maschina melds the most simple and innocent chord progressions of time-honoured folk music with a noisenik’s attraction to repetition, drone and inventiveness to create the sensation of paresthesia on the skin and mind. 'The Demolition Series' sounds like an effortless album. Soaring beauty, short rides to nowhere, characters met in the dark, are all in the experience of the artist. Purely, it is a clear view through steely eyes with a touch of innocent mysticism.'
'What a beautiful album, from this artist coming out of nowhere. The tracks are haunting, rooted in traditional outsider folk, though her electronic touches help differentiate it. ‘Asleep’ and ‘Holy Holy Holy Word’ are especially moving, filled with longing.'
