"Becoming Noise is no different. Each track on the album has a circuitous rhythm, informing its own little ecosystem that then swirls into the greater wholistic ark of Becoming Noise."
"Where her earlier output features analog instruments like the baritone ukulele, the Blue Knots sees Stech-Homsy exploring the vastness of synthesizers and electronic processing."
"Becoming Noise is accompanied by a printed companion to its aural half, a spiral-bound book pairing minimalist ink drawings with poetry by Stech-Homsy."
"It's a special moment while relistening and rereading Becoming Noise when you realize that both are now integral pieces of Portland's expansive music and arts ecosystems."
Danielle Stech-Homsy, a Portland-based multidisciplinary artist, releases her new project, the Blue Knots, with the album 'Becoming Noise' on April 25. The album showcases her evolution from earlier folk influences to a sound characterized by synthesizers, electronic processing, and micro-beats. Each track forms a vibrant ecosystem within the album, creating a hypnotic listening experience. 'Becoming Noise' is complemented by a spiral-bound book featuring Stech-Homsy's poetry and minimalist drawings, further enriching the album's artistic context. The Blue Knots will celebrate the album's release with an event at Turn! Turn! Turn! on June 20.
