FORWARD INTO LIGHT—Sarah's 5th full-length LP, an all-orchestral album featuring Metropolis Ensemble, conducted by Andrew Cyr, and produced by Silas Brown—is out today! The album is available on CD and everywhere digitally.
Sarah writes: "Some of my most vivid memories of feeling awake and alive—whether walking city streets as an adult or lying in the dark on the floor of my childhood bedroom—have been inspired by listening to orchestral music recordings on headphones. In some ways, I’ve loved listening this way even more than live, because it feels private and personal—like a dream you can revisit in any way, at any time. Since childhood, I’ve longed to be on the other side of that alchemical exchange, creating sonic journeys that a listener can personalize in even the most mundane settings.
I chose to create an album of these four works because they share themes of perseverance, alliance, and evolution through dark and light—concepts that have been at the forefront of my mind in recent years.
Deepest thanks to Andrew, Silas, Mike Tierney, the engineers, Henry Wang, Noěl Wan, and the brilliant musicians of Metropolis Ensemble for lending the very best of their talents to this album. And many thanks to everyone at @nonesuchrecords and @newamrecords!"
