“Mothers” is a seven-track album dedicated to the collective experience of motherhood. The music represents the journey of mothers striving to protect their creative paths while navigating the deep emotions that come with parenting and the process of redefining their identities. Each track explores a different emotional landscape, yet all share excerpts of piano improvisation from a single recording session, which serves as an undercurrent throughout the album. This undercurrent reflects the ongoing, profound, and dynamic experience of motherhood. The album features a series of collaged soundscapes, consisting of synthesizers, piano, and vocals performed by Hasumi, with contributions from Austin White on electric bass and synthesizers on three tracks. Each track’s sound elements are improvised separately and then combined using a collage approach rather than traditional composition. The final mix is designed to offer a three-dimensional, holistic, and stimulating listening experience. The album will be available for digital download and streaming, with a beautiful cover photograph by Aline Muller, whose work focuses on the theme of motherhood as well. The development of “Mothers” was made possible, in part, by a grant provided by CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing).
