Kate Gibson Oswald - Compact Discs

one year of creative energy and exploration in music. It draws on the inspiration of Kate’s “farm” years as a teenager, including some of Margery Herwig Gibson’s remarkable poetry from this time. It features art and inspiration by Emily, Kate’s sister, a lifelong painter and self-taught musical wizard of improvisation. The album called on Kate to

pick up her viola once more and her muse also led her to create new works like Stepping Out, The Lady Waits, Outside the Box, and Millennium. The writing and recording process has prompted Kate to coin a new term for her original vocal works on her album. Millennium and Outside the Box could be thought of as “Meta-folk”- Metaphysical folk music that speaks of spiritual things without being specifically religious or denominational. There is a hunger for things uplifting, beautiful, and meaningful. Kate’s music speaks to this need.

Instrumentation on the disc includes harps, recorders, viola, piano, guitar, and percussion.
