Emily Burridge
Footsteps in the Sand (WHWMCD 02, 2004)
Footsteps in the Sand is the second CD release by British cellist,
singer and producer Emily Burridge. Her music is very melodic and ethereal, with
world music elements in the form of sound collages, rhythms and instruments.
Footsteps in the Sand was produced in studios in Brazil, Austria and England
incorporating musicians from all these countries giving this CD a global quality
infused with Emily’s sonorous cello combined with classical harmonies. Burridge is known fro her collaborations with Austrian progressive rock
guitarist Gandalf. Burridge finds her inspiration sources while traveling off
the beaten track. In particular, this album centers on Brazil. After her visit
to the South American country, Burridge returned to her studio equipped with
both memories and recordings made on location to draw on and integrate into her
music.
At this point, Burridge is choosing to promote and sell initially through the
internet at www.emilyburridge.com.
