Amniotic by Johanna Borchert

Dwelling in a mysterious dreamtime realm where perceptive texts and incisive rhymes float within a translucent acoustic-electronic instrumental biosphere, AMNIOTIC will abstractly depict the nine months that slowly morph from the inception of life to the everyday miracle of new birth. Like an audio micro-photograph ... without the sentimentality.
A far cry from the dreaded dime-a-dozen singer-songwriter-as-emotionally-overwhelmed-parent record, AMNIOTIC will dispense with the narrative cliché of maternal hope, doubt, fear, joy, expectation, depression, and acceptance to document the inner workings of biological change, hormonal shifts, and psychological challenges with a language that is simultaneously scientific and vernacular ... set to music that movingly portrays both the age-old intra-uterine world and modern extra-bodily environments in contrast and correspondence.
