welcome to cloud collecting, this is the instagram page connected to my new @substack newsletter!

i’ll be sharing 3 question interviews on creativity with women + gender expansive artists, ‘women of ambient’ archive mixes plus links to @marineeyes related updates.

i’ve named this newsletter cloud collecting after a song from my first solo album which is about connecting to our childlike creativity by becoming immersed in the present moment, and i hope these bite-sized posts/emails will inspire you to find that in your own creative life as well.

head to the link in bio to subscribe ⛅️ thanks for joining me on these first steps!

cloud collecting no. 50 w/ @jolandamoletta ☁️

i’ve been a longtime admirer of italian vocalist, composer, and multimedia artist jolanda moletta so it was a joy to ask her a few questions following her release of oceanine via @beacon_sound. she also appears on the recently released @cloud__collecting x @echoesblue compilation gentle voices, vol. 1 collaborating with @birdsofpassagemusic. jolanda’s work channels imagination, nature, hope, and she is always uplifting women’s voices, it was due time to have her on cc. i highly recommend diving into her catalog.
