Album Notes

Datadrift is Guinevere Molly Campbell, a d.i.y. electronic musician and vocal artist, with classical background in clarinet and violin in her youth. She very quickly adopted an improvisational composition style. And more than 10 years ago, she set out to build a personal music studio to experiment with creative sound and personal expression, in an environment free of commercial pressures. That sonic cocoon enabled her to develop a very personal style and sincerity in her music, and it's a journey that continues, even as she begins dipping her musical toes into the outside world, to share.

Datadrift's first official release, Earth | Tone | Heart, exhibits the organic textures she builds and the intuitive approach she takes in her craft. Themes of sky, forest, ocean… day and nighttime scenes…and inner and outer journeys… occur and recur…as she brings the experience of the moment, a feeling, or imagined landscapes into a detailed sensory expansion and release.

In this project, Datadrift uses a palette of voice, synthesizers, drum machines, and native flute, in varying combinations or alone, to paint each sonic image. Emotionally, there are haunting, ethereal moments that seem to mourn things lost or not quite found... tumultuous moments of darker energy… peaceful, drifting expanses of landscape… and moments of beauty and joy. As the album moves through these varying states, a sense of cathartic release evolves.

Pick up a copy of Earth | Tone | Heart today. You won’t be disappointed. It’s sure to come in handy in those reflective moments where the artificial emotion of pop just won’t do anymore, when you’re needing something more organic and elemental to remind you of what matters.
