MP3 Natalie Edelson - Mayfly Days
13 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Modern Folk, FOLK: Folk Pop
Details:
Influenced by traditional and contemporary folk/roots resonances, Natalie Edelson seamlessly meshes the human and physical extremes of the Yukon landscape. Oscillating from the mundane to the whimsical through all points in between, her songs poignantly distill the off-the-grid experiences shared by urban refugees. Richly textured melodies envelop stark imagery. The result particularly satisfies those with a craving for something bittersweet.
Born in Ottawa and politicized in Montreal, Natalie Edelson made the Yukon her home in 1991. A musical journey that began with flute and piano has since gravitated towards acoustic and electric guitar. Her fluid and innovative fingerstyle guitarwork is reminiscent of rhythm and melody piano-hands. Performing solo or with accompaniment, Natalie Edelson creates and maintains a unique intimacy with her riveted audience.
Natalie Edelson''s debut, self-released CD Mayfly Days traces the topography of her 14-year "visit" to the Yukon. The 13-song chronicle of a self-proclaimed urban refugee is an auditory journey traversing exalted peaks and introspective valleys: a soundscape that glimmers. Produced and engineered by Jay Burr, mastered by Juno award winner Bob Hamilton: Mayfly Days features performances by some of the Yukon''s finest players as well as guest appearances by guitarists David Sinclair and Forrest Gibson. Two live-off-the-floor tracks highlight Edelson''s acuity as a solo performer.
Natalie Edelson lives in a cabin without electricity or running water. Her favourite cabin sound is the ting of wood splitting at -30.
