Whenever I listen to Emily’s music the first thing that strikes me is the sheer beauty to the ear. The multi-layered texture of harmony and rhythm is innovative, sometimes surprising, and always satisfying. The second thing I feel is the strong sense of place in her music, and I give myself over to being swept away to that place. Finally, there is a strong emotional connection for me, sometimes melancholy, sometimes whimsical and lively, into which I find myself drawn. Always a wonderful listening experience!
