ACC welcomes renowned vocalist and composer Martha Elizabeth Miller to perform songs from her new album What Lies Within, praised by Tunite Music as, “a thoughtfully constructed listening experience that rewards attention from beginning to end.” Following the performance, we will open the floor for an intimate Q&A conversation with the artist.
What Lies Within is a psycho-spiritual journey circumambulating the contemplations of my inner life. These twelve songs tell a story of transformation, and follow the meandering, spiraling process of becoming one's true self. I took inspiration from the work of Carl Jung in the curation of this set. The music doesn't neatly fit into any one genre. Rather, it is a blend of the music I've been drawn to - choral, hymns, theater music, folk, classical and the progressive rock songs of my youth. I’ve always loved singing complex vocal harmonies, and I’m delighted to have Daune Campbell and Marguerite Witvoet singing with me on this album.
Co-produced with Marguerite Witvoet, the seeds of this album were planted when Marguerite, Daune and I first met years ago in vocal workshops with Richard Armstrong at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Canada, and further nurtured in more recent workshops with Richard in upstate New York.
What Lies Within is available on all streaming platforms as well as Bandcamp. For more information and links to music: https://linktr.ee/marthaelizabethmiller
