Producer, engineer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and entrepreneur Dot reconnects with her roots to, once again, find her creative spark. “I've been going back to the piano, and playing jazz standards again, studying harmony again, and transcribing Bill Evans solos–going back to my roots as a pianist, and not even thinking about Ableton or anything digital, just playing the piano. That led me to start sampling the piano, and start working some of that back into my production.” “Begin Again,”–track eight on HIGH FREQUENCY Volume 2”–catapults Dot to a breakthrough. “It's hard to get that energy and that momentum to start again. This track is really representative of how that feels.” The sound of piano invites the listener with a comforting ease and beautifully romantic quality before the beat hits, steady and unassuming, introducing Dot’s ethereal vocals singing “feel your love again.” While the track builds, it ebbs and flows creating waves of sound that eventually crash into an infectious dance break. “That's a lot of resampled piano, from crappy iPhone recordings, not even using any nice microphones or anything to record it, it's very off the cuff,” says Dot. “I'm trying to capture this moment of finding the inspiration to take those first steps again, towards a new direction, or into a new project or a new chapter.” Unfiltered and raw while still exemplifying Dot’s impeccable attention to detail in her engineering work, “Begin Again,” exudes both the magic of playful creativity and the excellence of studied perseverance. ---- This is the eighth track from HIGH FREQUENCY Volume 2 — a compilation album curated by NOISE and the web3 music community.
