"Songs like these
Are not so easy to sing,
Once they're started,
They dare not stop,
From the highlands
To the city alleys below
They keep taking me
To lift them back to the top.
It starts out like a purring
From your caress to a healing,
And I dare not say more
Lest it break the spell
Of my heart's stealing"
(lyric from "The Uncommon Kind", HOMELAND CD) | |
"That was WONderful!
You got them to think!
You got them to laugh!
You got them to sing!
Oh, how fabulous!"
Odetta, May 31, 2008, Backstage
Laurianne Fiorentino's recordings are
live concerts; either solo, duo, or with a small trio.
Her concerts were performed and recorded in the historic Santuario de Guadalupe Mission in Santa Fe, the oldest shrine to The Dark Goddess in the USA.
Scattered amongst these tracks, are aural explorations recorded at The Forest House Studio, and collaborations with guest musicians and natural sonic elements.
Purely instrumental CDs Windhorse Rising & Viriditas (bamboo flute, cello, piano) and invented vocal recordings are live and improvised.
Visit this site often for new music, videos, recordings, and postings of Laurianne Fiorentino's original paintings and photographs.
"Every
once in a while, one comes across a 'different' artist, and I wanted
to start your day by recommending you discover Laurianne Fiorentino. She's from
New Mexico… a tough, committed singer-songwriter with some particularly powerful
material; she's not an angry feminist (a la Ani di Franco, for instance), but
she's positive and strong, and well worth bringing to the attention of festival
bookers. As those of you who know me well ought to know by now, I don't hype
people needlessly - especially when they don't pay me to do so!
