Vista by Emily Bezar
On her new double album Vista, Emily presents her musical reflections on two intense and transformative periods of her life, separated by twenty years.
Part I: Radial Mind (tracks 1 - 11) is her musical and lyrical account of her anxious isolation during the pandemic.
Part II: Secteur (tracks 12 - 18), her first long-form instrumental piece, is a seven part electronic tone-poem, her sonic memory of the episode of psychotic mania that led to her hospitalization in southern France in 2003.
To accompany the release of Vista, Emily has written a mini-memoir to set the scene for Secteur. She is also presenting a small online portfolio of artwork that she created while she was hospitalized in France. Her words and pictures are published on her website.
