Today Iโ€™m so incredibly honored, thankful and thrilled to announce the release of The Positive Reinforcement Campaign on Motvind Records and to present our new band:
Wrong Norma.

On this record, I teamed up with percussion trio Pinquins (Sigrun Rogstad Gomnรฆs, Ane Marthe Sรธrlien Holen, and Jennifer Torrence) and bassist/composer Inga Margrete Aas to create an experimental song cycle of Murder Ballads.

The Positive Reinforcement Campaign weaves together improvised experimental soundscapes, traditional American Sacred Harp hymns, and folk ballads as we sing the tales of precious entities, be they human or environmental, which are subjected to the brutality of contempt, greed, jealousy, violence, and utter disregard.
Through improvisation, experimentation and group singing โ€œThe Positive Reinforcement Campaignโ€ has banded together to stretch out and fill up the containers of these traditional songs - populating them with their own sonic languages and reflecting on the horrific stories of now. These re-imagined songs ask the five instrumentalists to sing in tightly bound harmonies (a musical and performative display of female solidarity). The Positive Reinforcement Campaign is one part experimental folk, one part Appalachian motet, and one part glitching, noisy, fluttering, drone.ย 
It uses the language of folk music traditions to witness and retell our current reality through a feminist lens.

I hope youโ€™ll check out this first musical offering and please stay tuned! - You can hear brand new music from our newly named band Wrong Norma in November at the Minu Festival DK -(and yesโ€ฆ it is an Anne Carson reference!)

The Positive Reinforcement Campaign:
Jessie Marino: composition/song arrangement, fiddle, voice, electronics
Inga Margrete Aas: double bass, voice
Pinquins:
Sigrun Rogstad Gomnรฆs: percussion, voice
Ane Marthe Sรธrlien Holen: percussion, synthesizer, voice
Jennifer Torrence: percussion, voice

with:

Recorded by Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard at Flerbruket Studios, Norway.ย 
Mixed + Mastered by Weston Olencki
