Album

Wound Tapestry began as a bedroom vocal experiment, a channeling of lost voices and melodies long veiled and hidden. Grief howls, ecstatic cries, neurotic squeaks, angelic calls from on high... This concept album is a journey: a descent into confusion and fear, a wresting with paradox, a questioning of what's true, and finally a remembrance and reclamation of the love and truth behind and beyond all appearances. A tapestry woven from the burning threads of longing for the Real.
