Music is the lifeblood of living out loud ~ Laura Botsford
Originally the music flowed like a river, and somewhere out of the midst of longing and its essence; a song branched out from all its tributaries into the sea of manifested music.
As composers and songwriters, we know the many influences when we hear them, but in the mixology of it all is what makes it exciting; the blend, the whoosh, the whir of harmonies so sympatrically, that it leaves one breathless.
In this flux of creativity beats the drum of discovery, and make no mistake; all music has a collective soul of the ones who influenced or created it together; their rendezvous resonates, and depending on the song, leaves an everlasting impression of it as an incandescent listening presence.
"Laura Botsford music spans many musical genres from folk country, to pop, rock, and jazz, cinematic ebullition for over three decades. Her blend of genres uniquely mesh in an air of ethereal ambiance that defies gravity, moving, and true to their original roots yet expand into innovative musical dimensions." Review
"This album fuses a number of genres and collects a wide variety of instruments as well. The danger with this style of production is amalgamating mismatched themes and instruments, leading to a cacophony of sound that never settles down to be a listenable, engaging tune. Well thankfully, Laura has not fallen into that unfortunate, well-worn rut, that so many producers end up in. “Aquarium Funk” is engaging and musical on so many levels and well worth your listening time.
If you are a fan of Jazz, Hip Hop, Soul and a melting pot of groove-based sounds, then you’ve found your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow with this 13 track album. Or as Laura, herself has described it, ”Aquarium Funk is an innovative compendium of cool with wings, hip with the hap of old school meets break out contemporary jazz fusions of Capriccio tuneful funky charm.” ~ Simon Reich

"I call it my musicality reality, as I love all genres from funk to R&B, jazz, country folk, and cinematic scores. My compositions reflect an ever-evolving blend of all of them. The focus of my compositions is pairing Jazz, Hip Hop, Soul, and a melting pot of groove-based sounds into crossovers of ambient, and classical orchestration." ~ Laura Botsford
Her vast collection of samples is a musical soup with ambient voices that carry songs in a flight of doves transitions from one style to the next.
