Sally Anne Morgan – Second Circle the Horizon LP

Sally Anne Morgan is an artist and naturalist in the purest senses. Raised on old time and Appalachian folk traditions, Morgans artistry embodies the rich life of the communities and natural world she surrounds herself with. Based in Alexander, NC on the edge of Appalachia and the Pisgah National Forest, Sallys blend of traditional technique and distinctly modern compositional approach are infused with the sounds of her garden, surrounding pastures, forests and mountains.

I wanted to capture the feeling of walking outside and just encountering organic nature sounds, some with patterns, some with a randomness that also verges on its own kind of pattern, notes Morgan. Old time fiddle music is the seed that grew into the part of my brain that makes music, and everything I do somehow seems to come back to that she concludes. Abstraction in pursuit of free exploration of that which cant be put into words balancing with an intentional structure of song lies at the albums core.
