about

‘The Human Heart’ presents itself as 8 expansive soundscapes that are both muted yet deeply personal. Prolific in her output, this release is the latest in April’s series of projects that fall delicately between acting as musical interpretations of literature and sonic experimentations.
― Tobago Tracks

"The human heart is an organ, a metaphor, a seed bed, a treasure chest, a pin cushion, a charm, a fountain, a house, a pump, a pine cone, a wheel, an electromagnetic identity, raw material, a rose, a pomegranate, a gift, a picnic spot, a significant ingredient in pate. It flies, it sinks, it grows, it faints, it bleeds, it flutters, it burns, it rejoices, it breaks, it fibrillates, it stops, it fails. It is attacked, transplanted, sacrificed, given away, swept, polished, eaten, stolen."
― Louise Young, The Book of the Heart

"...and the heart under her shirtwaist a tough little pony-engine."
― Stephen King, Pet Sematary

Lovely and spacious sounds balanced with a disquieting atmosphere. An excellent suite that uses ambient music not just to calm the listener, but to transport them into an epic, sweeping storm. Alec L. Critten
