"This project is going to be a little different from other ones I've done. You buy a blank CD. Then over 3 days, I'll fill it with beautiful, spontaneously created music. And you can watch the whole thing unfold over Facebook Live. September 12 starting at 9 AM.

Order your blank CD now: http://found.ee/EspWeb-j

Only 7,777 copies will be available, so first come first served."

I have been dying to tell ppl about this for the past week.

The Facebook Live feed has started...

New album sounding very cool!

What happened to 'first come, first served'? Does the Spotify self-destruct after 7,777 streams lol? (Not that I'm complaining either way.)

oh wait, my bad, this isn't Exposure, it's a whole new Thang:

Still working through this, but "Touch In Mine" captures well what she seems to have been aiming for.

12 Little Spells is kind of a prog-pop masterpiece, no?

I like ES, she’s got the groove

I liked it a lot when I listened to it and posted to the jazz thread. Haven't come back to it but I should.

new song is incredible!
