4ms Podcast Ep. 7: Emily Sprague

Emily Sprague is a composer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist best known as the frontwoman and creative force behind Florist. Alongside the band’s intimate, often deeply personal songwriting, Sprague has developed an extensive body of solo work centered around modular synthesis, acoustic instruments, and experimental composition. Her albums Water Memory, Mount Vision, and Hill, Flower, Fog explore the space between ambient music and more traditional songwriting, often growing out of improvisation and close attention to texture and sound.

Sprague has also brought that experimental approach into her work as a producer and engineer, developing a highly personal relationship with recording technology and the studio itself. Her new album Cyano, coming this fall on RVNG Intl., continues that evolution while placing her voice more prominently within her electronic and ambient work.
