This is a recording of a live concert I did when I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter - full of mistakes and super awkward banter, but I realized that this is just who I am. I love who I am, and I work everyday to fix the mistakes that I’m inevitably going to make, as a musician and as a person - recognize them, own them, and move forward. This was a very special moment in time for me, and I meant everything I played and sang and said on that stage with all my heart. So here it is.

All songs composed and performed live by Margaux LeSourd at the Seattle Drum School's SLAB in Seattle Washington on January 19, 2019. 

Live recording engineered by Steve Smith. 

Mixed and edited by Chris Littlefield. 

Album photo by Maurice Leoni-Osion.

I am a multidisciplinary teaching artist with a primary focus on harnessing sound, language, and visual elements as conduits for connection to self, ancestors, and the symbioment.  

I often use polyrhythm, odd meters, and mixed meters combined with soulful vocals and subtle harmonic dissonance to entice the listener into a space between genres and out of common time.

Conceptually, my work seeks to find the meeting place between the cerebral, the emotional, the unexplained, and the strange. I draw from a vast web of interests and am deeply committed to a practice of self reflection and intuitive work that keeps me grounded and aligned with my purpose. For me, connection is the central force that propels and guides my creation.
