Welcome to the Rebirth Issue! In this summer issue we’ll explore the theme of renewal. Whether it be a band embarking on a tour to Nashville or a student photographing a cover shoot (you’re looking at the finished project here), we encouraged everyone involved in this issue to run with the idea of regeneration and fresh starts.

Get ready for interviews with musicians heading out on the road, scoring movies and making fashion videos. We have original photography from all over the world in Volume Six: Country shoots in Russia, fashion photos from New York, pop art editorials, you name it.

Rebirth in my own life has been a constant theme. My husband and I have lived in tons of cities all over the country, and the itch to experience a new place creeps up on us constantly. We just made the somewhat spur-of-the-moment move to Portland, Oregon. I’m always inclined to change my own ideas and approach to everything, every day it seems.

Life for me--the exiting, inspiring

bits, anyway--are all about making that first step into uncharted territory. The thrill of trying something new for the first time pushes me forward, changes me and makes me better.

Liner really started with the idea of embracing newness, freshness. We wanted to create a space for people who are very different and have a multitude of perspectives, but who all have an interest in trying new things, visually or otherwise. This issue is all about that interest.

Change can be terrifying and freeing, depending on whether you embrace it or not. We say, go for it. We want to see what you’re doing and creating.

Let us know what you get up to in your fresh starts: linermag.com/submit.

This issue is broken up into the three stages of rebirth: the rust, the scrub and the shine. Like a piece of metal that’s been out in the elements, we could all use a re-tooling of our ideas, inspirations and goals. I hope you enjoy reading these stories, and thank you for supporting Liner!

WORDS Sofia Hultquist PHOTOGRAPHY kelly searle

_______________

How did your career in music start? How did Drum & Lace come about? I became more serious about my career in music around the end of college, when I started scoring student (short) films. It progressed from short films and having an electronic side project, to doing sound design and composition for audio branding, to then reeling it back into the original compositions I do now.

What is Drum and Lace, in a nutshell? My business right now is to work and collaborate with the designers to create a musical soundtrack that will complement and enhance their collections either in video look-books, runway, or wherever else music is needed for.

What are some high points of Drum & Lace so far? We wrote a song for Diane von Furstenberg’s Fall 2014 campaign, and that same season I was able to write music for a set of New York Fashion Week presentations. There’s a few projects coming up that I’m really excited about that I think will soon be high points.

stereotype for composers to be male, which leads to people reacting as if I’d told them something odd and extraordinary. A lot of the industry that I work with on the music side of things is definitely a bit of a boys club, but after college and graduate school with one female for every seven men (or more) you get somewhat used to it.

The issue’s theme is ‘rebirth’. Has that theme played an important role in your life and work?

It has. In a way I feel like I’ve gone through so many different phases in my life that every time I pass into another one it’s like clicking on the refresh button. Creatively, moving to LA was like a rebirth. I’d spent the last ten years on the east coast between Boston and New York and was feeling pretty uninspired. Coming out to LA somehow got me back in touch with myself and who I really am. For the first time (possibly in my whole life) I really feel that I am 100% me all the time, and it feels amazing.

What’s one of the struggles you didn’t anticipate, and how have you been handling it? There seems to be a preconceived notion that a composer is usually male and I seem to constantly be explaining that I’m actually a musician.

What do you love about working for yourself? It allows for me to make my own schedule and to not have to set times to have to work and force myself to be inspired. There are a lot of days when music and inspiration just won’t happen, and others when I’ll get an idea for something at 11pm. Working for myself allows for this type of flexibility.

The challenges have been less with handling the actual business side of things and more in the ‘woman in music’ side. There seems to be this big

Any advice for readers? Follow up, never give up the ownership of your work and make sure you have a good contract and invoicing system!
