about
A journey through the undiscovered and uncovered. Come travel through worlds of light and shadows, dark and deep, bright and swirling where sorcerers tell their tales, instruments have a lighthearted conversation and dragons fly for the shear joy of it. From the skirt of a whirling dervish to the depths where the stalagmites grow, Doğum is the portal where old/new stories begin their life.

These are tales as told through the didgeridoo, voice and other surprises by Seattle artist Pamela Mortensen. One by one, Mortensen releases these creatures to exist where no others can. But don't be fooled for they are not all heavy creatures. Some are lighthearted like "Why Not?" in all of its jazziness while others like "Out of Nowhere"take you to the farthest reaches of the kosmos where nebulae burn brightly with the promise of new stars.

Inspired by elegant Middle Eastern and rich Eastern European rhythms as well as urban beats, each finely crafted piece in Doğum differs from the last in a collection that is rich with ideas that pulls the listener along.

Track Name: Wise Are We
I take your hand
You guide me
You speak through me
I listen

You choose me
to breathe for you
so, I am your breath

You are many voices
merging with mine
to merge with the next
making one voice

you open awareness
I am your lake
Accepting, reflecting
Listening, learning
Being as you have been

I am your channel
so others may hear
as you whisper
"wise are we."
