Recording of Franz Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3 performed by Feona Lee Jones at the San Francisco Conservatory on a Steinway D in 2013. Download this album on Bandcamp: https://feona.bandcamp.com/album/inner-experience "Inner Experience" is a gift of gratitude created by Feona in remembrance of her grandmother who passed recently. These eleven pieces evoke wistful memories of the past. Although we eventually lose everything we have, what ultimately matters can never be lost. Within the pain of that experience emerged a gratitude for the creative part of human life, which can turn a thing of loss to one of beauty and connection.

French Horn (and delay pedal) performance and video editing by Rachel Boehl. I composed Ancestors in 2021 for Rachel Boehl’s 2021 MM graduation recital at UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. This commission was an opportunity to write for solo French Horn and delay pedal, and experiment with the sonic possibilities of the two elements. This piece is a tribute to our ancestors, whose histories are imprinted on us and teach us that we come from a long lineage of survivors. The structural sections of the work are a time and space traveling device that transports us across the world. For example, the use of multiphonics, where the player is singing into the horn while simultaneously playing a note, is reminiscent of the archaic ritual horn music of Tibet. Another example is of the whistling portamento in both the voice and horn, suggestive of the whistling languages of South Africa. This piece communicates how we are all connected to our ancestors. When we embrace, connect, dialogue with, and see ourselves as part of a greater familial and spiritual field of energy, we see the ancient wisdom that is deep within each of us. Even if we did not know our ancestors, we are connected to forces we may not understand. An essential part of our healing is connecting more deeply to our families of origin and challenging our familial stories, patterns, and beliefs. The music represents the dialogue with our ancestors and reconnecting with their DNA that resides deep within each of us. The French Horn and delay pedal combination enabled me to create the sound of an ensemble with just one instrument. With the delay pedal, I could create ripples of sound cascading onto itself, drone-like repeated notes and rhythms, canons layered upon each other, and delayed melodic and rhythmic gestures. I also discovered I could manipulate space and time by making some sounds sound closer or farther away. Ultimately, Ancestors is about telling one story about our connection to the past and how it has shaped us. It is about creating a dialogue with the greater familial and spiritual field of energy around us. We are biological storehouses––each are a result of our own unique lineage. By giving a voice to our ancestors’ panoramic, multidimensional view and letting their stories and voices be heard, we can embrace our families of origin and even challenge their paradigms and beliefs if they are no longer relevant. We are all cultural hybrids who have unique outlooks, and I want to honor our multicultural views and bring them to light since we are connected, all sharing this human existence on earth. ~ Feona Lee Jones' ⭐️ LINKS⭐️ ▸ Join My Email List: http://feonaleejones.com/contact-email-list/ ▸ All Links: https://linktr.ee/feonaleejones ▸ Lesson Inquiries: ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTM-fg_RaTs

I have arrived in Iceland and here is the video of my journey from San Francisco to Iceland. I am still pretty jet-lagged and time-zone disoriented but I finally made it to the house I will be staying at for the rest of the trip. For those of you who are just joining us, I was invited to take part in the ArtsIceland Residency this summer where I will be composing a 7-movement Requiem Mass for chamber choir. As you might know, music projects take a ton of support and there is very little funding for the arts in the US, so I want to take this moment and give a special thanks to all my supporters on GoFundMe. Your contributions are what make this residency possible. I dedicate this video to you guys. You are amazing and I cannot thank you enough. If you want to become a supporter on GoFundMe, the campaign is still open and I will include your name in the next video I make. Thank you again and hope you enjoy the video I made of my trip so far.
