  • Rain has released Magnetic Wind’s first dark ambient album, La Petite Morte, effective February 3, 2011.  Cover artwork by Aairria of Rain.  Jessica states,

    “While we would like to believe that life is only full of light, the fact of the matter is, it is not.  There are times in life when we must embrace and examine the things that hurt us, create fear and cause us pain.  My music, as is many artists, is a means of expression of the depth of emotions that are felt within.  This work, is a musical expression of feelings of fear, betrayal, loss, and grief.  Track three, La Morte Vient (Death Comes), is an audio interpretive expression of the death of my brother.  Tourmenter (Haunted) an Examinatuer (Searching), are reflections from states of deep fear from personal circumstances.  For, Etate de Guerre (State of War), I particularly used the public domain speech from FDR regarding the incidents at Pearl Harbor, because they were so likened internally to a situation of the deepest betrayal in my own life.  Abime (Abyss) is perhaps a piece that everyone can connect with at one time or another–when you are lost, everyone has turned on your, people who you trusted are no more and that trust misplaced and you stand alone in a sea of darkness.  L’enfant fille (Baby Girl) captures the innocence of pure love and the aching loss of it.  This is not a Magnetic Wind album that you are used to.  It shows diversity, depth, intricacy and intensity.  Just as with my ethereal and meditative tones, I hope, in some way, some of you connect with these very real emotions.”

    Reviews from stillstream listeners, including dj’s John Tocher and Har have been outstandng for the unreleased previews.  La Petite Morte release for free February 3rd, 2011 on the Rain Netlabel. 50 minutes.

About

Jessica Mesawzee Eagle Waters performs musically as Sita and  Magnetic Wind.

Artist Statement

Magnetic Wind focuses on organic, electronic blends of ambient with abundant textures and occasional female vocals creating ethereal drift, dark and light ambient. “Ancestry, autobiography and relationship are predominant themes in my work. It is deeply rooted in electro-acoustic sound design. As an artist, my tools are electronically-processed acoustic percussion, voice, esraj, tanpura, viola, dulcimer, laptop electronics, acoustic piano, field recordings and amplified objects.”

Born amidst a thunderstorm and delivered from her ancestors (Ottawa (Adawa)/Sac and Fox) through the Thunderbird (Nimkii), she carries the name of her great grandmother. Mesawzee (pronouced mehSAWzee)  is the name of her great great grandmother as it was transcribed on the Durant rolls of the Ottawa.   Her formal education is vast with academic degrees in music, education and psychology.  The name Sita was given to her by the Sikh’s.  Sita is an avatar of Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and wife of Vishnu. She is esteemed as a standard-setter for wifely and womanly virtues for all Hindu women.  Sita is known for her dedication, self-sacrifice, courage and purity. White Magnetic Wind is Jessica’s Mayan birthday symbol.

Her original compositions have been released on the following labels: Rain, Endless Ascent, Sound4Good, EPD (Portugal), Free Floating, BWF Recording, JWM, Magnetic 5280 and Divine Alchemy.  Her music is available commercially on CD Baby, iTunes and various other electronic distributors with physical CD’s available at Reverbnation.  She has had her work played on Hearts of Space, KCUR’s NightTides, Stillstream.com, Nightscaping with Har, Disorganized Sound with Dr. Steve, Sadayatana, Mysterious Semblance with Tange, Metlay, Time Drone with Jack Hertz, SomaFM Space Station Soma, Animas Lumina (Brazil), This Ambient Life, AiiRadio with Steven Barber , Radio Mystic (Santa Fe), Our Place Radio and One World Radio (UK) and many more stations.  Alan Herrick of Netlabelism.com featured her album La Petite Morte in 2011, where it found rave reviews and was followed by additional outstanding reviews from various new age reviewers including Mark Blood for it’s haunting sound and the departure from her signature drifting ethereal.  All proceeds from album sales go to Hospice Association of America. In 2011 she became partially deaf but continues to release and compose music.  She’s inspired by the Fluxus movement and embraces electro-accoustic conceptual composition.

 

 

Her early spiritual studies were under the tutelage of Cherokee elders, spiritual communion with her great grandmother, Mesawzee, Flordemayo (International Council of 13 Grandmothers, who studies under Don Alejandro Oxlaj, a head of the Mayan Council of Elders), John Eagleday (Delaware and Coast Miwok) and Jose Lucero (Santa Clara Pueblo).  She is a baptized member of the Lutheran Church, Community of Christ Church, Unity Temple on the Plaza and has studied variations of Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Bhakti, and United Centers for Spiritual Living as well as Unitarian Universalism.  She considers herself a Universalist and embraces faith and equality for all humanity.
