From a beautiful night back in May performing at Ambient Etc. at the Deli. Thanks to @low_indigo_ for having me ✨ Original audio excerpt from my set. I’m really looking forward to sharing sounds in a similar realm tomorrow @insidevoices.events hosted in my garden 🌸 Early bird ticket link is in my bio. Tickets will also be available at the door. Cash & online payments accepted. At @insidevoices.events we value accessibility to the arts — no one will be turned away for lack of funds. If you’re not in a position to pay the full ticket price, please come anyway and contribute what you can. At the same time, please keep in mind that this show will be supporting 5 live musicians whose craft has been nurtured over a lifetime and whose sets are unique sound journeys curated intentionally for this gathering. If you have the means, paying full price (or more) directly supports the artists, helps sustain the event, and allows Inside Voices to continue uplifting and showcasing artists in our community and beyond. 💫 Setting my wide eyed sights on building a future of paying it forwards and inwards within community and nurturing and uplifting the art forms and spaces we want to witness and spend more time in. Thanks for the captures 📸@laine_butler

Inside Voices — an event and sound collective centered around live experimental, downtempo, and ambient music. A place for deep listening, community connection, and collaboration. This series was born from a shared desire to create more spaces where music can be truly felt and heard — where presence is the intention, and listening is at the forefront. As artists — especially those working within this softer, more nuanced realm of sound — we often long for environments where our work isn’t competing with external noise. We crave spaces where the audience arrives to witness, to connect, to be moved, and to be held by sound — outside of loud, overstimulating environments. This kind of space is a missing piece for many of us. We wish to tend to that absence A few friends and I started this collective to support and grow these kinds of experiences. We invite listeners to show up just as they are, with no expectation other than respect, curiosity, and openness to receive. Close your eyes. Stretch, move, draw, write, sip tea, or sit in stillness. Use your inside voice. This is a place to relax, connect, and leave feeling regulated, nourished, and inspired. @creek.st is getting an extra tripped out set ready for you all 🌊 For more info & ticket link to this weekend’s show, follow us at @insidevoices.events

a @low_indigo_ monthly series listening & connecting comfortable intimate environment saturday, may 3, 8-12 tix & links in the linktree

! @nellabanner (live) 
touching down from slocan valley in the mountains, nella is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer and producer who sculpts immersive, atmospheric soundscapes. blending ethereal vocals, layered violin, subtle electronics and textured field recordings, they invite listeners into a sonic landscape that inspires deep listening and emotional resonance. very excited for this to finally be happening (we asked about them playing this last summer!).

 @thesearenotlovesongs (live) 
a duo consisting of @len.p & @martellogive . born from a shared passion for the abstract and ambient, and rooted in friendship - their sound is intimate and immediate and highly expressive, and alligned with ultra-current sounds like 3xl & westmineral (some very top tear labels). check out this incredible & richly-layered live improvised set in the tix link. heavily anticipating this one. 

@seffithewitch (closing dj set) 
perhaps better known for her techno sets, anyone who's been lucky enough to catch a rare seffrika ambient set knows they go ultra deep and are very special, and come with a casual free-spirited intelligence and clear sense of knowing. like a star-filled night sky. it's been a while since last playing in this mode, so there's lots of fresh favourites and an excitement to share.

 @ephemeral.objects (vj)
 our first repeat vj performance could not be anyone else. michelle was key seed energy for the event series beginning and helps shape the course ongoingly. extremely dedicated and talented (a steadily ascending star!) and full of vibes - very excited to have michelle back to bring her organic blend of modulating colours & shapes laced with emotion and a certain bright vitality

 @michael__red (opening dj set)
 resident & curator of the series on opening duties, with an intuitive blend of selections to warm up the room and set the tone so we can fully sink in to the featured sets of the evening. a healthy collection of opening sets are up in the playlist in the @low_indigo_ linktree design by @laine_butler

Letting my dad’s beautiful words guide me through this Equinox portal—as we rise with the light into brighter days. “Democracy it is not, when a bigot and a felon can reach the top…” “But our world is full of people who don’t share these misguided ways. We have the power to stand up and rise above it, and spread our love towards some brighter days. We have the power. We have the love. We have the vote. So let’s use it all…” He sent this to me a few days ago, and his words brought tears to my eyes— so beautifully capturing the aching reality we’re living through, while stirring a deep sense of empowerment and hope. Sharing here so they can be heard and felt by more. His words reminded me of lyrics that echo in my heart often—from Wise in Her Ways by Francie Laflow: “Sing, my sister, sing— sing out loud for all you bring. For how you sing is who you are. Love, my sister, love— let it go, we rise above. For how you love is what you are. And you’re wise in the ways.” We wake up each day to so much— atrocities and horrors we can barely name, and yet also… beauty. Art. Possibility. So how do we hold it all? How do we move through? I believe these answers are within us and the collective. In the way we use our voice. In how we show up. In how we love. In how we treat ourselves—and the ripple that creates in our communities and beyond, into the collective. This Equinox, I’m choosing to make space for more art. To share my voice. To tend to myself and my people with compassion. To hold each other through our collective grief—and dream a brighter future into being. Here’s to rising with the light. Here’s to spreading our love. Here’s to brighter days. #BrighterDays #EquinoxPortal #ProtestSong #ArtAsResistance #RiseWithTheLight #CollectiveGrief #UseYourVoice #SpreadTheLove #CommunityCare

Celebrating the forces behind the scenes today and every day—the womxn, trans and non-binary loves in my life. Holding space with such grace and fierceness, your presence is powerful beyond words. Our root system runs deep, and resilient. I love to watch us grow wild and free. Honouring the steady strength and the unstoppable force of collective care. Basking in our joy and play. Forever grateful and in awe of your presence, inspiration & love we have to share. Not enough photos to show all your faces, but I cherish the impact of each and every one of you and all the ways we are connected. 🪽 Cover photo @lumis_memorie ❤️‍🔥 #IWD #adaylateasusual
