Edition of 50

This exclusive limited edition mixtape comes under damsel Elysium's epithet daēdah; storm chaser, augur, architect of the subtle.

The Maiden, The Architect & The Mediator explores a new trinity of damsel's paradigm, all while a brooding storm in Aquarius takes place. Part concept album, part research project, daēdah is the mediator of discovery, where dreams and weather are prophecy, recovering ancestral foundations is growth and daēdah's ongoing birthing as a practice and a fundamental structure.

With features from Valentina Magaletti, Llainwire + THE NARRATOR as well as excerpts of conversations I had about dreams, names, phonetics, birds and architecture with sonic architect Robin Sparkes. The project includes new work and old demos as well as research material and samples from Dr Nicole Rawls, Martin Sigler, Muhammad Ali, Jeanne Lee, Abbey Lincoln and Yma Sumac.
