Note from the Artist:
Tree Skeleton began honestly as desperate prayers for ease and answers in a period of my life where I really knew I was lost and had been for several years. Not that what I was learning wasn't a part of my path, but I was continually choosing to learn life's lessons the hard way. For the first time in my life, I sought out real help. Not just a temporary ailment through the kindness of friends, family, and mentors that I asked for only when in the direst of straights, but for help to not continue the cycle of mental and emotional turmoil that I had been "persevering" through my whole life. 

The music has evolved to not only be an expression of my darker half, my shadow self but also filled up with words of inspiration from my higher self and the Light of Spirit. The messages I left in audio recording through these songs serve as a constant reminder of how far I've come and reminded me of the messages I need to hear when old inner demons attempt to creep up again. 

My ultimate goal is not only to present music and art that helps me heal but also helps others to heal. I hope what I make reaches and helps heal people's hearts and spirits. Music literally has saved my life as far as I'm concerned, both as a fan in my youth and as an adult musician. I have always wanted to make a beautiful album that shows the softer side of my creative force, and I have!

Say Nothing

"Rising from the source. Expressed by voice & synthesizers. Grounded in nature and reaching out to the stars. Prayers for living in this world but not being of it."

Tree Skeleton is healing music of un-suppressed self-exploration and euphoric expressions of both pain and beauty. Her music falls somewhere along the lines of the singer-songwriter, gothic folk, and a mix of experimental music genres with a subtle yet solid pop foundation. She sings with an honest clean voice that conveys a bittersweet purity of spirit mixed with the regal grounding of a solemn earthly sage. Analog and digital synthesizers, acoustic and electronic drums, and other DIY percussive instruments create a musical atmosphere drenched in self-reflection & sincerity. The instrumentation ranges from ethereal synth orchestration, layers of textured ambient sounds, pounding percussion, to barebones acoustic tribal rhythms weaved together by the beauty and depth of simplicity and moments of silence.

Her music is influenced by groups like This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Bjork, Edward Ka-Spel, Prince, and Black Tape for a Blue Girl to name a few. Her music also showcases her background as a longtime electronic producer.

With Stones in His Pockets is a singer-songwriter from South London. He writes formally experimental gothic music that dwells at the murky boundary between folk and post-rock; pessimistic but weirdly uplifting songs about broken-hearted people on the fringes of society.

Through his solo performance, With Stones channels the impact of a full rock band. In each sparse, tangled song is an orchestral epic trying to get out. On stage, he strains every sinew to bring the crowd into his dynamic, idiosyncratic musical world, where psych rock, folk, classical and jazz jostle for space, and catharsis is thin on the ground.

With Stones in His Pockets’ latest album ‘Missives’ was released in 2023.
