THE LOST TAPES

"The creation of this album was not pre-meditated, and occurred almost by accident as I was cleaning my studio last April. If you read the intro in the booklet, you’ll get the picture. The story of how I rediscovered and took on this piece of my nearly lost history is, I think, as interesting as the music itself.

The story begins with a young musician in her twenties looking up at the stars of her own future, typically in awe of the world of recording studios, advanced technology and all that implies.
