A new album by Saloli, "The Island: Music for Piano vol. I"

A new album by Saloli, "The Island: Music for Piano vol. I" will be available as a limited edition cassette (as well as digital) this December 21st, 2021, with a concert that same evening at the First Congregational Church, Portland, OR. Saloli (Mary Sutton) is a Cherokee Nation citizen and daughter of painter and flute maker Jerry Sutton. As a composer she aims to create sonic landscapes that entrance and enthrall the listener into sweetly vulnerable introspection. Saloli's debut album of synthesizer compositions, The Deep End, was released through Kranky in 2018.

"The title The Island comes out of an image that popped in my mind while playing piano... of an island where there is nothing to do but play music for the birds, plants, wildlife and surrounding waters. It's a tranquil and beautiful place, but lonesome with a vastness that stretches toward the horizon." Composed on a gorgeous 1900 Chickering piano with a unique, warm, rich tone and hauntingly long decay, this music is an exploration of emotional, psychic and physical resonance.
