If the people behind an album can’t be bothered to invest more than a few seconds into their artwork, how dare they expect us to spend our time listening to it?

This Sunday The Night Garden returns - ambient, new age, folk, post rock, ethereal, dreampop, and all the chill vibes. 9 pm CDT on twitch.tv/DJellafine

A flyer with a blue night sky, with a full moon and clouds., and a vintage illustration of flowers and dark green leaves in transparent overlay. A flock of geese fly in a "V" on the left side of the image, with a group of five larger geese in the middle, across the moon. All the images are layered with varying transparency to create a hazy and dreamy effect. The text across the top reads: "The Night Garden." Below that: "ambient. ethereal. downtempo. post rock." Towards the bottom reads "Sunday Sept 27, 9 pm CST; twitch.tv/DJellafine"

I wanted the start/stop rhythm in this song (Eyes in the Dark) to evoke the feeling of being hunted as prey. This song was inspired by the feeling I get when I think I am about to be (or have just been) controlled or minimized in a chauvinistic way…that cornered feeling that hits you.

For women's music to stay in the repertoire, we don't just need recordings. We also need score publication, composer info & advocacy. So I'm delighted to announce the launch of UNHEARD HERITAGE, a recording initiative marrying research & performance leahbroad.substack.com/p/announcing...

if a work can't be heard, performers won't play it, so we desperately need good recordings of women's compositions if they're going to enter the repertoire.

So this month I am really delighted to announce the launch of my recordings initiative, Unheard Heritage, which is dedicated to bringing forgotten works out of archives and bringing them to life in world-class recordings.

Because women have always been composers. No matter how difficult it was, no matter how trying the circumstances, historical women fought to make their voices heard. We only have to listen.
