Sheylla B, pratique sa voix comme l'instrument qui lui permet d'atteindre cette fréquence sublime ou s'estompent les fractures . Une perspective ou sa terre d'Afrique embrasse sa terre d'accueil l'Europe , ou la langueur du Fado répond à la nostalgie de la Morna* . Investit dans la quête , de ce qu'elle est , elle aborde cette discipline sous ses aspects les plus divers , qui emprunte au chant traditionnelle , l'electronica, la Soul ou encore au Jazz .

An Intuitive and Cinematic Approach
Rebecca composes music the way she captures an image: with a sensitivity to light, shadows, and the textures of reality. Her poetic approach is driven by a desire to reveal the invisible, to dig beneath the surface of the obvious and unearth fragments of memory, buried emotions, and inner landscapes.

Writing as a Sensory Journey
Each piece is a space where text and sound converse, where words—sometimes whispered, sometimes chanted—merge into dreamlike or raw atmospheres. Rebecca plays with silence, breath, and repetition, turning them into mantras. Her writing oscillates between the concrete and the abstract, between fragmented narratives and diffuse impressions, creating a language that does not seek to explain but to make one feel.

A Poetry of In-Between
Between nostalgia and avant-garde, between the intimate and the collective, Rebecca crafts a sonic poetry that questions the passage of time, the imprint of personal and collective histories, the traces left by absence. Her musical universe stands at the crossroads of melancholy and minimalism, spoken word and melody, outcry and whisper.

Mr. Andrew's Garden was across the street from our house when we lived in Seattle.
This was in 1959, before the World's Fair and the Space Needle.
We would visit the Garden when we could, and every day was different.
The Chinese would visit on weekends, in the afternoon.

It was a  huge garden and the Andrews were always busy working in it.
Avery and Sarah, Mrs. Andrew's grown children, lived there with them.
Sarah lived above the garage and Avery lived in the garage.
Avery fought in Korea and had a habit.
Cradle Needle was written for him.
Sarah was just wrong.

Michael Patrick Francis, my older brother, would always take the lead in our journeys.
Everything in our selections is a memory of what happened. Do not become confused. The Garden is as deep as your imagination.
We hope you enjoy your visit.
