Switching by Vanessa Sinclair & Carl Abrahamsson

In 2016, American poet Vanessa Sinclair and Swedish musician Carl Abrahamsson travelled in Portugal, recording Sinclair’s cut-ups and poems along timeless roads, breathtaking nature and majestic architectural structures. These recordings were then integrated in music by Abrahamsson. The pieces, as well as the totality, evoke not only geographical places the couple visited, but also states of mind and emotion. In a loose, free form and seemingly random manner, “Switching” is an album that penetrates the walls of expectations and keeps on exploring inside the listener’s mind. Provided he or she is willing, of course…

Vanessa Sinclair & Carl Abrahamsson create poetry, music and films based on the belief that synergetic synchronicities are cosmic rewards for a life well lived. Thematically, they roam through the deep layers of the psyche that the strictly rational can never penetrate. Open to being open, open to collaborations, open to expanding the limitless even further. Essentially: don't be a stranger!
