Shimmering within the tactile and emotional intimacy of acoustic sound, the compositions of Kara-Lis Coverdale balance clarity and mystery, evocative of environments that hover in the liminal brainspaces as potent dream-recollections. Rich in layered overtones, ambiguous harmonic centers and gestural detail, they favor a spectral sensitivity suggestive of shifting planes of memory and afterlife.

A dedicated researcher of sound’s potential as a vehicle for care, Coverdale also composes for breathwork and psychedelic therapy, and expanding her catalogue of pieces dedicated to embodied listening. Out on Smalltown Supersound, her latest albums A Series of Actions in a Sphere of Forever and From Where You Came extend these ideas into a meditative world of choral haze, fragile dissonance and layered harmonic interplay.
