Sarah Hallman uses guitar and piano to construct the hollowings, intimately sung, heart-felt songs of melodic inner monologues. In 2001, Hallman recorded and produced an introspective collection of songs that she wrote and has regularly performed live ("File next to: A tapestry woven in threads of sadness, clarity, insight, retrospect and beauty.") In the past few years, Hallman has been focused on sharing her evocative music with live audiences and writing new material. The songs are catchy and bittersweet. Their spirited restlessness and wandering melodies lure the listener to unexpected levels of darkness, somehow antithetically leaving the listener quietly exhilarated . 2006 heralds the release of her sophomore cd, recorded and produced by Ottawa's Dave Draves. This collection of songs is the outcome of musical collaborations that have enhanced Hallman's songwriting and furthered her experiments with dimension and depth, with an inner sound transported.
