With the start of studio sessions for the instrumentals and vocal tracks for Even Dawn's upcoming single 'Aend timeZ'  here is a short story about her musikal beginings and high hopes for a happy ending.

Even Dawn's songs sound like music plucked from the future, wrapped in the roots of deep ancestry.

She began writing music one sunrise, seven years (+1 day) before 21/12/2012 which was celebrated by staying awake all through the night. While awaiting the ascent of the morning sun over the treetops, the first song- 'Altarnation' took form. Within that following year, from the summer of 2005 to the summer of 2006 Even wrote 7 a'cappella songs in total, some now have instrumental accompaniment and are being recorded in Northern Rivers NSW for her e.p. '7even' to be released through Mind-Heart Media in 2011.

Performing these songs for her own enjoyment, Even's delivery was then something like mystic poetry, lilting little sing-song stories and musically described scenes. She then began to approach some songs as rap rhymes, developing a rhythmatic delivery. That was right about when things started to tick over into whole new dimensions of sound. The 'invisible library' which opened upon studying the art of the eMCee offered maestra Even D keys to access the vast soundscapes of her imagination... Her assignment became to skillfully craft vocals with lovingly blended tracks - her intention: to musically voyage to the other side and back. By now many more songs are tumbling out of Even, deepening an innate desire to decypher the mystic jam band in her mind.

Propelled into improvised vocal settings with a diverse and world-influenced crew of instrumental local musicians, Even started finding her place in the mix on the mic. Returning home with 'jam on her fingers' she started picking up the acoustic guitar and then a melodic steel percussive instrument made by PANArt called the 'hang'.

It is often remarked upon for looking like a UFO... but the hang not only looks like it's from Outer Space, it can certainly sound like it too.

Now with a uniquely stellar sound to accompany her quirky, soulful vibes; those first songs to have stemmed from her fertile inspirations have taken hold and are now shaping up to be a mesmerising collection of tracks for her anticipated releases - becoming  available soon through MHM Music.

When staying in Melbourne Even plays in the Kinship, with backups and rapped vox and composing arrangements for the forthcoming album 'Synchron City'. Whereas the songs for her '7even 'release will be diffused with Even's light mellow moods the 'Synchron City' tracks are being turned into funky, Kinship soul shanties.

An essence of such sweet sentiment gets carried through Even Dawn's songs, they sound like soothing balm for the weary-hearted. The melodic arrangements she plays on the hang transport listeners to celestial realms where they are offered a piece of paradise to bring back home to earth.

Touching a music of the future;
embracing a return to soul.
