Forward Music Project 1.0 is officially out on July 10!

This project has been a long time coming. I commissioned these first seven FMP works in 2016 and finally recorded them last summer. So much has changed since then for my project, myself, and the world, but my attachment to this music only grows stronger.

Literal blood, sweat, pus, and tears went into the recording process. It was an enormous learning experience and I will carry this experience forward as FMP continues to grow. 

There is a long list of people to thank. Many are listed in the CD, but I would like to extend my gratitude here to the National Sawdust team, Garth MacAleavey, Mike Tierney, Bright Shiny Things, the fearless FMP composers, you generous donors, and my friends and family who supported me from the very beginning. I'd like to send love up to the sky to my mom, who would have been so proud to celebrate the work of these incredible women alongside me.
