ES:MO is Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti, two imaginative and acclaimed musicians who push against the boundaries of genres to seek out the new. ES:MO’s love of contemporary harmony and rhythm gets paired up with a love of great songwriters, explorations in electronics and modern guitar soundscapes, r&b and funk, poetry, folk and orchestral traditions, and great musicianship. Michael’s huge colour palette of guitar work combined with Elizabeth’s soulful and ethereal voice and keyboard work is a special pairing, as evidenced in their JUNO nominated debut album, The Weight of Hope.
This autumn ES:MO releases Sunshine in My Bones, a celebration of compositions built on hours of improvised jam sessions, samples of washing machines, voice and guitar loops, and the vision of two great friends who recognize the magical connection they have when they improvise music together.
