SORA: Winds of Change
SORA: Winds of Change

I imagine great Canadian painter Emily Carr would be keen on Sora’s music. They share an affinity for nature and forests that breath in their works. “I tread the forests of your eyes. Wild path within. Dappled sunlight moves us in circles. Gravity of a sigh.” These opening lines from Heartwood, the title track of Sora’s 2009 release calls to mind Carr paintings Path Among Pines or Deep Forest, Lighted.

Sora’s ability to conjure up scents, textures and the essence of nature through her lyrics stems from the deep meaning she finds in the natural world. “I am natural and enjoy organic design, music and writing. That is what inspires me…the feeling of fiery leaves falling around as you walk on an autumn day, a cherry tree full to the brim with blushing blossoms…my lyrics come from there. My ultimate goal in my music would be to create something that people could find themselves in; that they would want to listen to and get lost in. I want people to be touched by their environments as I am by mine.”

Since releasing her first album Winds of Change (2003), a collection of folk songs from the British Isles, Sora’s talents have been getting increasing support from industry and fans. In the year and a half that followed she began writing her own material which led to the recording of a demo with Romanow in late 2006. From there the flood gates seem to have opened with the awarding of several grants: 2007 -Demo Grant from FACTOR, 2008 - 10K20 grant from Rawlco Radio (to record Heartwood), 2008 -Juried Sound Recording Grant from FACTOR and pre-album release airplay of Light, a track from Heartwood on Magic 99 in Edmonton, Canada. The album includes Hugh Marsh, George Koller, Ray Dillard, Kevin Breit, Sharlene Wallace, Gary Craig and Fergus Marsh.

hi dear Sora:)

Very, very happy you enjoy my videos - and that the mood and atmosphere comes across. Would be great to play for you if possible somtime in the future...let's see:)

BTW I really love you web-blogs! Not only do you have a deeply charming personality + you are so beautifulll (!!) but most of all you really manages to draw the viewer in and share in your thoughts and struggles and succes... I get very inspired to do the same but fear I would fail completly at it:) Since I am not doing concerts and so, my own little struggles with music and art and inspiration and synthesizers and all that would hardly be interesting save for a few close (!!) friends:)

But all respect to you for doing it like you do it - and for having a career worth blogging about :D:D

Have a great day/night and talk to you soon:))

Your friend

Dearest Sora:)

Hope your week is of to a good start:)

Thank you for your comment ...I am really happy that you find things you like in the music and that returning and exploring reaps rewards:))
I LOVE you description "Map of the human Heart"....I have been searching for something to kind of decribe the music as a whole eventhough the tracks are so different. And to use that phrase actually nails it pretty good!
You really have a way with words! you should write songs or somehting....OH WAIT! you allready do!! :D:D:D

Still in love with your Hiraith lyric (or how it was spelled...)...is there a melody too?

Take care dear, and keep those lyrics and melodies coming!!

All the best to you and yours!
