Monarcana by Diane Cluck
Monarcana is a collage of spontaneous song-sketches collected from 2001-2004. I'd been recording ideas on a Korg 8-track digital workstation and while some would become finished songs, there were many of them and I wanted to share the inspired quality of what music feels like when it first comes through, joyous and unrefined.
My friend Chad Dugas encouraged me to release these song bits and was supportive in my process of editing a few hours' worth of material into a collection that could be presented more formally.
Very Friendly, former label imprint of Cargo Records, released the collection on CD in the summer of 2006: https://dianecluck.info/store
Some folks tell me they like to drift off or fall asleep to this album, or to listen on long drives...
