Life Like Water
Life Like Water is the creation of multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter, David Matters. It was initially started as a way for him to process his turbulent past and navigate an uncertain future, but it has since evolved into a communal effort to celebrate the human experience, with a focus on hypnotic rhythms, elegant vocal harmonies, and melodies with tastes of Africa, Ireland and the Middle East.
CASTANEA
Under the alias CASTANEA, David Brown of Rising Appalachia brings his musical versatility to the forefront, combining acoustic and electronic elements. Known for his skills on the upright bass and baritone guitar, Brown also excels in turntables and production, creating a sound that is as immersive as it is innovative.
The name CASTANEA, referring to a tree species reviving from near extinction in North America's eastern forests, symbolizes the rejuvenation and transformation present in his music. This project showcases his ability to weave traditional sounds with contemporary beats, crafting tracks that resonate with a wide array of listeners.
