Musicians are like storytellers. The same way we can thumb through the pages of black ink on crisp white paper to read an enchanting love story or watch a film about a historic hero, we can be told a story through the whimsical coalition of music and lyrics.
Music is something that can grip us all, and to be the one to do that, to create a mood, to make a feeling, seemed to me the epitome of artistry. Certainly, it is something that John Runnels, the creator of Morning Bear, has mastered.
Ivory Circle creates a sound as unique as it is precise, electrifying and passionate, complete with lush strings, harmonic layers, and pulsing drumbeats, interwoven between the piano and vocal lines that give them their trademark sound.
For us, Autumn is for seeds in your pocket, gatherings of wool blankets, nests of sticks and bones, heather on your gloves, herbs and spices, feather and bone; all wrapped around our shivering skins.
