"‘Donsya a’n Loryow’ is a collection of songs created between the springtimes of 2020-2021 at Home in Cornwall and Dorset. Has been a beautiful mad ol process and will be my first time releasing any of my own music. It is a piece of work I have poured much of my heart, time, and soul into the past two years so am very excited to finally be able to share it with the world! All of the music was written, performed, recorded, mixed & produced by me, then mastered by my dear friend @ryancarlsonvankriedt

‘Donsya a’n Loryow’ translates in Cornish to ‘Dance of the Moons’. A lot of the songs were written in my homelands language and are in many ways a homage to the magic of that land. Whilst recording at home in Mousehole I started to notice the times I felt most inspired to make music would fall on certain cycles of the moon. It was these lunar dances that inspired the Title and Album Artwork which is an oil painting I made of a hand headed moon maiden.

This was my first time learning how to record and mix everything alone in my bedroom.. so is quite raw but I enjoyed creating this way. I was more interested in capturing the organic feeling of playing rather than getting a perfect take.. which led to a lot of the songs being written within this realm and their seeds growing within the recording process.

Has been a very interesting and long creative process that through all the hurdles I have learn’t a lot from. Working in solitude can be both a blessing and a curse. Having this kind of freedom over what you’re creating can be very empowering.. but the amount of unnecessary doubt you encounter within yourself and what you’re doing can become quite maddening compared to when recording with other humans haha. Anyhow.. there is so much one can and can’t articulate about making a record.. but I am just very happy people will soon be able to hear it!" - Daisy
