MATTIE is a mirror. She is an oracle of the SOL, and a watchperson over the keys to liberation guiding your experience via modalities of introspective visuals, lyrical self-inquiry, melody/harmony, experimental instrumentation, movement, meditation, and performance art.



Her sound? Experimental SOL. Her destination? Wholeness.



An experimental vocalist from Dallas, TX - MATTIE began singing in church at age four where she learned the basis of conventional gospel music. From there MATTIE has toured + recorded with Israel Houghton and New Breed, and received Dallas Observer Music Award nominations.

Palmy, the sidewalk palm tree
A Soundscape Created by The Growth Eternal (TGE)
For An Environmental Music series from Leaving Records and Metro Art 

-----

"Palmy is a little palm tree. And they're growing up, just like you! This song is about both of you growing up. Palmy wrote it after they saw you walking by them. You were on your way to Union Station. Does Palmy's song sound like a journey to Union Station to you?"

Inspired by the sidewalk landscapes of Los Angeles and the way a child might experience the natural world on a daily walk, "Palmy, the sidewalk palm tree" is a playful original soundscape written from the point-of-view of a sproutling that has rooted itself on a small patch of earth. It watches people of all ages and backgrounds on their way to places the neighborhood tree can only imagine from the sights and sounds that surround it.  

The track was created using field recorded sounds, synthesizer, three plants via PlantWave, and a dog.

The Growth Eternal (TGE) was started in 2018 as a project stemming from artist Byron Crenshaw’s direct experience and interest in bringing together disparate parts of the self. Crenshaw is a Tulsa-born, Dallas-taught, Black-living, spiritual being who currently lives in Koreatown. He started playing music professionally at 15 years old when he fell in love with jazz after hearing John Coltrane and Duke Ellington's rendition of "In a Sentimental Mood." After attending the University of North Texas and graduating in 2019 with a Jazz Bass Degree, he decided to move to California to pursue a more honest and creative path for himself in music. Eternally he grows, learning as he goes.

Flora Urbana
A Soundscape Created by Green-House
For An Environmental Music series from Leaving Records and Metro Art

-----

"Flora Urbana" is an exploration of the anthropogenic environments in which we live. With the intention to dissolve the illusory barriers between humans and nature, Green-House utilized field recordings of small pockets of "natural" sounds as they walked through densely populated city parks. The field recordings are blended with software synthesizers, samplers, and virtual instruments to symbolize the potential harmony that can be achieved between us and the rest of the ecosystem.

Green-House is the project of Los Angeles based artist Olive Ardizoni.
Approaching their music with an intentional naivety, they craft songs that find freedom through simplicity. As a non-binary artist, they hope to create a space with fewer barriers as both a performer and a listener. Green-House's latest full-length album "Music For Living Spaces" was released in May of this year. The record is an extension of their desire to encourage people to connect with their existing surroundings.

To All Trains
A Soundscape Created by Celia Hollander
For Union Station 2021
Part of An Environmental Music series from Metro Art and Leaving Records

-----

"To All Trains" takes its inspiration from Union Station as the largest railroad terminal hub in the western part of the U.S. with approximately 110,000 people passing through every day.  The piece begins by exploring the perspectives of being an individual navigating a crowd while simultaneously viewing the organized chaos of a swarm from a distance, such as observing a beehive.  As Union Station connects travelers to local and international destinations, the soundscape expands in frequency range and instrumentation to explore the harmonies of being a part of a complex system with many moving parts. 
Resisting the binary of ‘natural’ and ‘artificial,’ Hollander merges digital and acoustic sound sources and processes. "To All Trains" is an expression of striving to fathom the full scope of the interdependent networks that our species inhabits, creates and embodies, as a foundation for sustainability.

Brin - Soft Gaiden

Being totally sober and super aware of reality has created a need to reconcile with the past and heal in the present. Is necessary a time to be kind to ourselves. 
This selection has been an outlet for this emotional state. 
Looking for something that was thought lost. Something like "that thing" that made things special in our surroundings: voices, lights, sounds, silences and subtle sensations. 
It feels like learning to dream one more time.
