HEADLINE SHOW AT DENVER’S ICONIC GLOBE HALL: 24 JUNE
Ethereal electronic singer, songwriter and producer Fi Sullivan shares her brand new single ‘Storm Warning’, out everywhere now. The track is taken from her upcoming EP ‘Shades Of Forest’ set for release on 17 June. To celebrate the release of the EP, Fi will be performing a headline show at Denver’s iconic Globe Hall on 24 June.
Speaking of the track, Fi says, “‘Storm Warning” is for the sweet moment you feel magic with the possibility of meeting a new love…the raised pulse, the catch of breath, the spinning mind, the disarray…like the entrance of a brewing storm–the electricity in the air–until the downpour of sweet chaos and total sense.”
Speaking of her creative process, she says, “All my compositions start with mind mapping and a sound… the visualization of the sounds I physically and mentally gather all living, layering, and interacting with the natural environment and humans in new worlds–their own worlds. My songs start with a dream scene that appears in my mind…either before or while I’m playing guitar or jamming in Ableton on my computer…I usually find the chorus or main dance moment first…then the vocals and lyrics come intermittently in waves as I try to describe my soundscape and feelings. I usually enter a feverish flow of creative energy while songwriting and producing…it’s hard for me to pull away.”
Born and based in Denver, Colorado, growing up in an urban environment looking west to the Rocky Mountains, Fi and her soundscapes emerge from augmented and experimental realms, as well as her natural surroundings. Her sound is layered vocals traveling a three octave range mapping subtle bass and pulsing beats – the sweet surreal inspired by the natural world.
Upon receiving her degree in computer science and music, Fi embarked on a worldwide journey from Europe and Greenland to Australia and South America as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow exploring and performing at intersections of technology and human vocal continuity – including performances at the Nuuk Nordisk Kulturfestival in Greenland and the Australian National University in Canberra. Always wandering with her sketchbook and microphone in hand, Fi gathered a collage of personal prose and field recordings from her changing environments–seeds for lyrical lines and sonic textures. The spectrum of microclimates and biomes Fi experienced spanning the tundra to the savanna inspired her soundscapes to grow into new spheres of dreamy biomorphism – amplifying her electronic sound strata influenced by classical and jazz.
Following 2021 performances at Denver Westword Music Showcase, TEDx MileHigh, and Globe Hall, Fi headlined and sold out Denver’s Larimer Lounge on New Year’s Eve. 2022 has been exciting for the artist with Sofar NYC, Miami, and Denver shows. Fi recently opened for Germany based MEUTE at AEG’s Gothic Theatre (to a sold out 1100 person show) and LA based Forester at Globe Hall. The artist now prepares to perform at Bonnaroo, headlining the Motherfunk tent, and Globe Hall, headlining June 24.
Fi Sullivan’s debut EP ‘Shades of Forest’ is out on June 17th.
