Thread: Interview with Theresa Andersson

Melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre; these are the traditional building blocks of pop music. Yet although you will find them in abundance on Hummingbird, Go!, the new album by Theresa Andersson hardly sounds like conventional pop. That's because the New Orleans singer-songwriter chose to approach her craft from different perspectives before she even began composing. "I stopped thinking in terms of traditional songwriting," Andersson explains. "I worked on shapes, forms, and textures, scents and colors. Elements which are more earthy and organic inspired me." She would walk along the Mississippi River, or relax in her garden. As ideas emerged, she caught them in her butterfly net – or rather, on her laptop – and let them converge, then blossom.

She's awesome, I love Theresa! Look her up on youtube if you want to see an amazing performer. She did a song with Assembly of Dust called "Straight" (you can DL it at aodust.com for free, just need to give an email address) it's pretty good, you might like it. Btw, that's great that you were able to interview her, that must have been a cool experience.
