Biggi Vinkeloe

Beautiful storm clouds open the sky. Sawuáli blooming in full winter.
May we remember the earth, with us. Dreaming, together.
Our hearts singing. Singing, together.

Amy Melissa Reed and Biggi Vinkeloe knew each other since making music in California, USA already many years ago. I went to see them together the first time at Solevi farmhouse in Sweden early April 2023. We shaped together some of our sounds into music and it felt damn good. Two weeks later the album was recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden.
