Rachael Dadd - We Resonate (2014)

Rachael Dadd composes songs in a purely unique way. Merging pop and left-field folk with exotic influences from afar, she playfully pieces-together experimental ideas and sounds to craft stand-alone, musical mosaics. Combine this with the unpredictable nature of her field recordings and the curious clamor of her prepared-piano and you've got music that accurately embodies the ever changing, excitement and challenges of everyday life. As she explains:"Combining pop with experimentation opened up a chasm of light and shade. The two contrasting elements highlight one another, accentuate the tones, make surprises. I love seeing contradiction in things and in people and love hearing it in music. I'm excited by the realms of possibility in music, so much ground un-trodden."
