Send us a Text Message.For the 12th episode of The Heart Gallery, I am in conversation with Gaelynn Lea.  Gaelynn, a violinist and songwriter who won NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest in 2016, has a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities in the music industry, especially for disabled artists. She has performed over 600 shows in 45 states and 9 countries, but her path hasn't been without obstacles. And according to Gaelynn, 26% of Americans have some type of disability, yet the music industry is far from being fully accessible or inclusive. Here, Gaelynn talks about accessibility in the music industry, the problem with disability-based "inspiration", and creating transformative art. We also have a surprise for you: three of Gaelynn's songs are featured throughout the conversation. I am sure you will love this episode…HW from Gaelynn:  "I would say, look up those three artists I mentioned (shared below) because they're all really good. If you haven't heard a lot of disabled artists, I think there's maybe a subconscious misconception that you have to be disabled to like their music, but that is not true. They're just so good. So, look them up and then check out rampd.org, because there's around 60 artists right now as a part of RAMPD and it continues to grow. And so if you're ever feeling stuck in a musical rut, go check it out because they cover all genres."Artists mentioned:- Wheelchair Sports Camp-Ruth Lyon- Eliza Hull- Charlie Parr- Recording Artists and Musical Professionals with Disabilities (RAMPD)Connect:- Gaelynn Lea Patreon- Gaelynn Lea website- Gaelynn Lea Spotify- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

HOLIDAY FEATURE: Gaelynn Lea Traditional fiddle music tugs at the heartstrings, and it infuses feeling into what is otherwise notes on a page. There's something transformative about it. Not only has Gaeylnn Lea mastered her craft, but her experimental use of this time-honored instrument adds yet another dimension to the sound. Melodies are stretched and harmonies are crafted by her use of live looping, paired with obvious classical training. It's updated, and ultimately, very satisfying. Cellist Zoe Keating springs to mind as one listens to Lea's use of her chosen instrument. It's no wonder she has drawn attention for her music—she has really been carving out her own niche in the industry. Gaelynn has been playing the violin for over two decades, and there's little doubt she's comfortable with bow in hand. It really does take a person mastering an instrument before experimentation can be successful. The challenge is to depart from the norm and create something unique—all while expanding on previous training. The skill is still in there--but the music grows larger and more full. This is what Gaelynn does, and it's a pleasure to hear the thread of the familiar woven in with the freshness of something new at the hands of an experienced artist. The musician has been recognized for her work—being chosen as the winner of NPR Music's 2016 Tiny Desk Contest, recognized as a benchmark in the world of music. This competition brings in thousands of submissions, and to win is quite the accomplishment! Those who are looking for a forward-looking holiday collection of music will want to investigate Lea's album, "Deepest Darkness, Brightest Dawn". The tracks that are included here boast many of the well-known popular carol names, such as Angels We Have Heard on High, Silent Night, Away in a Manger, and O Come, O Come Emmanuel--but you haven't ever heard them played like this before. The 14-track album is an easy fit for anyone who is a true strings aficionado, and it would round out any collection of holiday music. Perfect for everything from a romantic candlelight dinner with your love, or at a family gathering, “Deepest Darkness, Brightest Dawn” is a delight to listen to. Experience the joy of hearing Christmas favorites that are coaxed into a new form through the hands of a talented musician.
