Season’s Greetings: episode 1: Imbolc
On this first episode of Season’s Greetings, Chanelle Allesandre + Suzanne (Bells from the Deep) celebrate the arrival of the Imbolc season ~ the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. We’ve devoted two hours to this special seasonal marker. This sonic capsule features wintry tunes, droning melodies, vocals trying to articulate. There are hints of spring (is that spring?), songs that sound like sun on snow and snow in the sun, music that offers space and music running with the urgency to fill it. Bells from the Deep leads off the show and tells us all about Angelica. Chanelle Allesandre picks up the last hour and speaks a little about Lobelia. What good tension is there in waiting? What surprise happens when you let the pulse lead? What happens when you reach, when you open, honestly? Sounds of the tug of war between was and will: a maybe. A maybe quickening over the airwaves from us to you. Enjoy, enjoy ~
