"Before the show, our team feared the sprinklers would spray our "stage" like they did during the set up. Nearby, a crew was disassembling a large stage and heavy construction vehicles beeped constantly. I pleaded with the forewoman to call a short break so we could enjoy this performance without interference. MILCK, aka Connie Lim, waiting patiently to start the set, pulled out a guitar, sat on the ground and entertained the audience until the noise stopped."
"So much more than a singer and songwriter, Lim is a talented storyteller and activist who uses her music to inspire advocacy. One of the songs in this set, "Sisters of Winter," is about perseverance, strengthened by the ancestors in our veins. This fall, the song will be used on the national ACLU campaign series where MILCK will be an official spokesperson."
This field recording took place on a tree-lined sidewalk at the Aspen Ideas Festival campus. The location looked ideal but was briefly disrupted by sprinklers and nearby stage disassembly with beeping construction vehicles. MILCK, aka Connie Lim, waited patiently, then pulled out a guitar, sat on the ground, and entertained the audience until the noise stopped. Lim blends storytelling and activism, using music to inspire advocacy. The song "Sisters of Winter" centers on perseverance and ancestral strength and will appear in a national ACLU campaign this fall with Lim as an official spokesperson. The set list included "Morning Bird," "Sisters of Winter," "Still a Fire," and "Quiet." A production team managed audio, video, and editing.
