Expect to hear exceptional performances from:

Be there or be square!

My First Video Project - Soon to be Uploaded

After many hours of production work (at a true Molly-like pace), I am pretty darn close to releasing video shorts from my last concert at the Freight & Salvage. I have been reviewing footage, selecting songs, mixing the live audio tracks, writing and editing credits and taking steps to obtain sync licenses.

My goal: to upload the video song segments onto my website & a new You Tube channel. You will then SEE & HEAR a lot of outstanding performances by my FAB band!

(I keep reminding myself that the tortoise won the race with the hare--but I'm not sure who I am racing here!)

Rinny Zin Records Begins Molly's New CD

Early in March, I invited my 5-member a cappella women's ensemble, The Impermanent Project, plus four other singers, up to Mesa Recording in Sebastopol. With the help of producer Frank Martin, we recorded a new long-tone piece that I have been developing, as well as my own spontaneously-composed, chant-like pieces in the tradition of Bobby McFerrin's circle-singing structure. I love to utilize polyrhythmic phrases, often with an African 6/8 feel, and tight-clustered harmonies that create a kind of haunting and mesmerizing soundscape.
