"You're a nutter, that sound is muchos disturbing, unsettling. How did you do it, what planet did you find such a sound? O V E R"

people said these things about the laurel tree...

"Meanwhile, the outré laptop electronica of The Laurel Tree and Pixelmechanic created exactly the opposite effect upstairs, demonstrating the diversity of local talent that exists to support an event such as this."
***THE SCOTSMAN - April 2008***

"Headline act The Laurel Tree is a rather unassuming young women form [sic] Edinburgh. I say unassuming, yet nothing would really prepare you for her dis-orientating blend of electronica and found sounds. Handing the controls to the audience, The Laurel Tree never lost contact with the crowd, making her one of the most engaging electronic artists at work in Scotland today. Though the instrumentals were perhaps a little wayward at times, this was an enthralling performance by a talented artist."
***IS THIS MUSIC? - March 2008***

"This time Drouthy Neebors' basement will be playing host to experimental programmer The Laurel Tree, an Edinburgh-based musician who has dabbled in almost everything. Whether behind a piano, a microphone or a guitar, The Laurel Tree is always a force to be reckoned with. This latest foray into the world of computerised composition sees her going as far as she can into new territory and her own quirkily titled brand of toy-tronica. With Wii remotes, gamepads and other toys on stage, and using software she designed, she'll be pushing it as far as it goes."

cybele, goddess of nature, fertility, lions & bees. but some males took the obsession so far that they formed cults and ritually castrated themselves and wore women’s clothing. a phrygian goddess and this is loosely based on F phrygian. but fertility goddesses were also cow goddesses, so she’s a bit of a cow. as you will hear.
