WILD BEAST by Hope Littwin

Experimental Songwriter/Composer/Singer, Hope Littwin, layers Acoustic Folk, Classical Art Music, Jazz and Electronics to create a new, raw, Electro-Acoustic Chamber Pop.

Artist Statement:

"I wrote a set of songs, dialogues between myself and the animal inside that rears its ugly head when someone I love betrays me. When someone I lust after refuses me. When I am alone with myself and, trembling, left to confront my beast nature. Unruly, destructive and ravenous.

The feminine beast has an ancestral wound of injustice woven into it’s sinews that incites an ancient rage. It howls, it scratches, it is cruelly and methodically ignored, prematurely pacified, fearfully abandoned. I sat with this beast for two years and let it speak. I watched it take over my body and mind in fits of dark nights of the soul, unquenchable desires and all consuming fits of rage. I couldn’t find a way out so I made a way through, not in spite of, but in solidarity with my inner beast.

No answers here, just presence, inquiry and steadfast solidarity.” -Hope Littwin
