In the Key of
Earth is a celebration
of our planet as a living organism, with its pulse, breath,
rhythms and cycles – resplendent and musical. In
this ambient recording, Marjorie bends and reinvents the
boundaries between sound and music through seldom heard
harmonics created with acoustic instruments. Ohm is the
fundamental tone upon which all effects are built, chosen
because Earth is our fundamental place of life. The overtones
and harmonics are like colors, prisms of light playing
off the fundamental of Ohm. Like an abstract expressionist,
Marjorie plays her instruments, but not as one would anticipate.
Nuances and unexpected harmonics are accentuated and incorporated
as compositional elements. The effect is captivating, symphonic
and inspiring.
