In the realm of healing, the journey often takes on a spiral shape rather than a linear path. Paige Emery’s latest vinyl release, “Intercommunications,” delves deep into this concept, exploring the intricate layers of the healing process through a captivating musical journey.
Based in Los Angeles, Emery is not only a talented artist but also a dedicated healer, with practices ranging from herbalism to performance art. “Intercommunications” serves not only as an album but also as a profound document of Emery’s spiritual and creative exploration.
The genesis of “Intercommunications” lies in Emery’s daily ritual of singing to her plants, a practice rooted in the belief that attention is the seed of love. This intimate connection with nature infuses the album with a sense of reciprocity and reverence, as Emery channels the cycles of life and rebirth into her music.
Through the album’s tracks, such as “Opening” and “Decomposing,” Emery traces the eternal cycle of existence, whether in the realm of plants or humans. This cycle mirrors the journey of healing, with its twists and turns, its moments of growth and release.
“Intercommunications” is not merely a collection of songs but a reflection of the complexities of healing. It’s a journey marked by uncertainty, stretching, and shedding, yet imbued with the reassuring potential for growth and renewal.
Tracks like “Calling” transport listeners into the depths of mystery, with eerie chimes and haunting vocal echoes evoking the flicker of a distant bonfire. Meanwhile, the triptych of “Swelling,” “Enduring,” and “Decomposing” forms a distinct movement within the album, pulsating with life and energy.
Remarkably, all the music on “Intercommunications” was produced using a single keyboard, showcasing Emery’s meticulous attention to detail. Through meditation and music alike, she invites listeners to glimpse the profound complexity of the world—a complexity that ultimately reveals a beauty and love that is ever-present.
As listeners embark on the sonic journey of “Intercommunications,” they are invited to explore the spiral of healing, where every twist and turn leads to a deeper understanding of the self and the universe.
