Erica Seguine & Shon Baker Orchestra - The New Day Bends Light (2023) [Hi-Res]

The debut album of the 21-musician Erica Seguine | Shon Baker Orchestra

Composing music (or creating any art), affords us the ability to create worlds that make the subtleties of the human condition and natural world larger than life. In Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” or “Wheat Field with Cypresses,” we can feel the energy in the stars, or the wind brushing up against the leaves as if we were the tree. There is an inner life in these scenes conveying feelings in a way stronger and truer to human experience than words can. Each composition on this album is an inner world we invite you to immerse yourself in: some joyous, some into areas considered “taboo” in the real world or psychological places you may actively avoid, while others invite youto take perspective, to make meaning out of murkiness, and, hopefully, to find some messy form of healing.
