Tom Honey (@gwfaa ) talks with Michigan-based composer Izzy Johnson (@izzy______ ) about their release ‘Isolation / Liminality’.
“I’ve admired Izzy’s music from afar for years, ever since I first heard their debut album Earth Tones, I was completely in awe. We connected instantly through our shared love of music and our experiences with IBD (ulcerative colitis for me, Crohn’s disease for Izzy). We wanted to turn those connections into something positive, and we hope our music brings comfort to anyone navigating life with IBD.” - Tom
“When I’m performing, something happens that’s hard to explain. It feels like I enter another state of being. Playing guitar and singing, I can become so present that I stop feeling pain.” - Izzy

Very excited to share two songs my friend Tom Honey and I made for ENTRAILS Issue 02.
Isolation — the first release from Entrails Records. It includes two tracks, Isolation and Liminality, which will come out as a super limited edition 7in vinyl. One hundred copies only, available to order for one week Nov 26 - Dec 3. Both tracks were created to explore the lived experiences of disability, chronic illness and the emotional landscapes that form around them.
Isolation focuses on the loneliness, disorientation, and vulnerability of being hospitalized with IBD. It is about how everything gets farther away, how you become more and more inside your own head, and what that internal contraction does to a person. It holds the feeling of being cut off from the world while still being asked to endure it.
Liminality looks inward in a different way. It reflects what many disabled people navigate every day, living between worlds, never fully accommodated, never fully able to function in the pace or demands of the able bodied world. It explores those brief and fragile moments when you feel ok, then the inevitable slipping back. It sits with the experience of losing pieces of yourself inside illness, inside disability, and the ongoing work of trying to return to who you are, even as that identity keeps shifting.
