“CREEP“ RADIOHEAD Jaidene Veda strings serenade (The Making Of)

out now • (*PRESS HD) i feel immensely proud to present the second release from my sixth independent and crowdsourced solo album... as their generosity afforded me the sheer luxury to work with such a sublime arrangement by Violist, Lorento Golofeev, passionately performed by Canada’s critically acclaimed, Black Dog String Quartet, and visually expressed by internationally renowned dancer, choreographer (and a singer sister from ’home’), Lady C... i hope you feel this fusion of sound and movement as deeply as i do when i witness all of their tender motions here. “you float like a feather, in a beautiful world“ three years in the making! i felt so challenged (at times, defeated) in learning how to finesse the unique blend of a cherished grunge era classic with the magic of classical instrumentation. while my voice is quiet, it needed to be loud. i felt like a disappointment (at times, an imposter) while this took so much longer than anticipated. while recognizing my apprehensions as i worked on this footage and saw the precious nature of a string quartet live in studio, though, covered with masks, i came to understand they were simply adorned with the reality of what we all experienced together during the lockdowns. akin to the imperfections in the pitch of strings just like the voice, an inability to avoid the creaks caught by microphones, in capturing collective studio noises we sound human, we look human, we are merely human. but the music transcends! in the end, how beautiful is that? so in revisiting the absolutely timeless impact that this song left on many a generation, i remain forever tethered to my youth... when ’dreams come true’, where it never hurts to try, and how my community never (ever) failed me as long as i wasn’t afraid to ask for help... again and again. all of my love and thanks to all of you. soul size x VOCALS PERFORMED BY: STRINGS ARRANGED BY: Lorento Golofeev STRINGS PERFORMED BY: The Black Dog String Quartet PRODUCED, MIXED & MASTERED BY: VIDEO DIRECTED, PERFORMED & FILMED BY: Lady C ADDITIONAL STUDIO FOOTAGE: PRODUCED & EDITED BY: © jaiveda productions 2023 LADY C: BLACK DOG STRING QUARTET: LORENTO GOLOFEEV (Ion String Quartet): @ionstringquartet8333
