Dogwood is an evolving rendition of Emma’s solo project; reimagined a a live, improvised performance.
Built around an exploration of rhythmic and tonal textures on drum set, Dogwood combines elements of soundscape, free jazz, and electronic music into a performance that oscillates between deceptively delicate and unapologetically dissonant.
