“Music for the Muted” is an experiment with the sensory perception of acoustic signals. These signals are created without even touching the the evoked instruments – electric guitar as well as bass – let alone playing them in the classical sense. The sounds are produced and modulated by experimentally operating effect pedals to playfully let musical structures take a back seat to sensations in the face of “droozing” sound waves. Although intuition plays a key role in composition, our “pieces” are by no means works of improvisation, as they are the fruit of a complicated process of selectively approaching and then evolving ideas into increasingly complex runs. In this way we attempt to perceive each individual element with a different sense – like a bass line, for instance, which might be tweaked by sensing the vibrations emitted from the amplifiers; another example would be the modulation of background-white noise (Störgeräusche) via exclusively tactile operation of the effect knobs, thus approaching the final desired form by literally fidgeting our way there. This results in multi-facetted soundscapes that challenge all senses in creation and perception.

The first serious collection of material thematically revolves around the notion of time and, more particularly, the measuring of time. The logic and reasoning behind this was determined in a similarly playful and intuitive manner as the method used for molding our sounds, always maintaining a limited range of sensory perception. The individual pieces were created with the focus on interlocking units of time in the western world. Step by step, we get to the bottom of how, why, and at what one point human beings become limited by these units of time, ultimately denying them the ability to treasure individual moments and leaving their lives void of meaning in the face of their own mortality. 

Chris, hailing  from North West  Tasmania in Australia, is a singer-songwriter who pens originals, and  plays vintage music the way it used to be.  Her mashup of  Folk, Blues,  &  Americana  draws on a lifetime of  encounters with places, people, and the magic of nature;  echoing  a multitude of  global grassroots traditions. 
Traveling around carrying her “band” like a pack pony ~ lap-slide, banjo, uke, as well as a few plain ole guitars, she  regularly performs in Australia and Europe.
Growing up in Merseyside, England, Chris was exposed to the vibrant music scene of the late 60’s and 70’s,  and her music is has been influenced by  traditional folk, country blues, and  world music .
In 2016 she represented her State at the International Blues Challenge & National Women in Blues Showcase in Memphis,  and her second album,  “Wailin’ & Raggin’ the Blues” was  a   finalist for “Best Self-produced CD with the Blues Foundation , USA.
