about

To me, the idea of Folklore represents resourcefulness and ingenuity in spite of limitations.

This music was an exercise in managing limitations. First meant to be performed live at the Polyfold concert series, the music was reimagined so that it could be recorded remotely and with whatever resources we had available during the pandemic. This process challenged me to revise the overall concept while working within our physical and creative limitations to produce something that we were proud of.

Dayeon, Hery, Leonor, and Nick’s strength as musicians allowed me to produce a complete suite of music. Even without the ability to perform together, it was so important to have these artists contribute their voices and set me off on a different path than what I originally intended. Making this music with them was a joyous process—my community is my Folklore.

This music has everything I need: acoustic instruments, a slow build, layers of atypical harmonies and rhythms being added each pass through, subtle melodies and combinations. Excellent work! Little James
