One part of the West Country band Thought Forms for literally half her lifetime, Charlie Romijn's Silver Stairs Of Ketchikan project has always existed in parallel.
If until now it has been an outlet for solitary improvisations/explorations of the tight spaces between fragility & violence, her 2021 album 'EDEIDA' is ready to break them open.
"2 A.M. is the best time to climb the silver stairs of Ketchikan and go up into the trees and the dark prowling deer.
When my wife gets out of bed to feed the baby at 2 A.M., she turns on all the lights in Ketchikan and people start banging on the doors and swearing at one another.
That's the best time to climb the silver stairs of Ketchikan and go up into the trees and the dark prowling deer." - Richard Brautigan The Silver Stairs Of Ketchikan
