Saskia stops tuning
Devon-born songwriter Saskia is exploring the delicate balance between light and dark, fragility and strength, as she prepares to release her new EP, Wearing All White Like An Angel. More than just music, her forthcoming work delves into the complex territory of contradiction, exploring the vulnerability of losing words and the power of silence.
In a candid reflection, Saskia discusses the creative choices behind her sound, particularly focusing on the decision to leave her vocals untouched across the new collection. This creative restraint signals a deliberate shift in how she approaches expression, prioritizing mood and atmosphere over vocal performance.
The EP is built on these interwoven tensions—a striking juxtaposition of conflicting emotions that define the sonic landscape. It is a journey that embraces the complexity of human experience, refusing easy answers in favor of nuanced, evocative textures.
Saskia’s approach to production is equally telling. She is deliberately opting out of the traditional process of tuning, choosing instead to let the raw, unpolished elements of her songwriting breathe. This decision underscores a desire to capture authenticity, allowing the inherent contradictions of the lyrics to dictate the rhythm rather than external sonic perfection.
By leaving her vocals in place, Saskia ensures that the emotional weight of the words remains paramount. The resulting music is a space where fragility and strength coexist, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into the layered, contradictory nature of her world.
