Today\u2019s guest deejay is Jolanda Moletta<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I was first introduced to Jolanda through her captivating work in Peter van Cooten<\/a>\u2019s mix for Soundwave (listen here<\/a>), and I\u2019ve been hooked ever since. I invited Jolanda to share a mix with us.<\/p>\n\n

Jolanda\u2019s mix features artists whose works are marked by their unique approach to sound and a profound sense of introspection. It is a haunting and deeply introspective exploration of the mystical power of sound.<\/p>\n\n

Hailing from Italy, Jolanda has been making waves with her unique blend of organic and electronic soundscapes, drawing inspiration from her love of nature and the cosmos. Her album, Full Moon Session<\/a><\/em>, was just released earlier this month, which includes live performances of songs from her Nine Spells<\/a><\/em> album.<\/p>\n\n

Jolanda also led the folk band She Owl<\/a>, delivering two full-length albums and performing more than 300 concerts across Europe and the US. But in the past two years of isolation, Jolanda focused on a deeply personal project, one that connects her to her ancestral roots and promotes healing.<\/p>\n\n

Jolanda has some words about her mix below.<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Sanderson Dear<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

See you then.<\/p>\n\n

When I started working on my debut solo album Nine Spells<\/a><\/em>, I wasn\u2019t aware of other artists doing ambient\/neoclassical\/experimental music except for a few names. I didn\u2019t\u00a0know how my album would fit into these genres. I just had a vision of wanting to create something with only vocals and I imagined something meditative that was like a prayer, or an invocation. In months following\u00a0the\u00a0release of the first singles, it became clear that there was actually a community, and a scene, of these genres. My mix aims to put a spotlight on the many incredible women who are also creating beautiful music within this community. I am happy to now call some of these artists my friends, and others I would love to meet one day and maybe even collaborate with. So I truly do hope that you\u2019ll warm to this mix and come to love their music as much as I have.<\/p>\n\n
