Far from being conventional,"into what is wanted" is the audacious debut track by ladyybirdd [music by Gina Izzo] integrating improvisation and analog FX, with the flute at the center.

"into what is wanted," is a personal exploration of choices, altered directions, and ruminating decisions through landscapes of acoustic sound through analog FX. From escalating layers that echo one another to long reverb reminiscent of what came before, ladyybirdd asserts agency through extended techniques and percussive layering that ultimately reshape and dismantle direction. 

While a flute may seem an unlikely candidate for musical insurrection, Izzo, with her latest project, ladyybirdd, brings razor-sharp technique, captivating intensity, and an unrestricted adventure.
