I combined Poetry, Music and Sound Design on my newest project.

Follow the link on my Music Downloads tab to view the album.     ​

The music moves from atmospheric textures created by Jeremy Ylvisaker and JT Bates, to Bill Evans Style Piano Trio and Underscore.
Beautifully read by Katy Vernon.

"This album is both a primer into the poetry of the brilliant American lyric poet Sara Teasdale, and a soundscape. Vernon's delivery of the sultry and poignant lines is the perfect vibe for Yeager's sonic vision."

Sara Teasdale [1884-1933] was an American lyric poet. Some of her work anticipated modern feminist verse and the intimate, autobiographical style known as confessional poetry. A large number of Teasdale's poems deal with love and death. Many of the speakers in her lyrics are women who face the death or desertion of a loved one. They also face the fact of their own mortality with disillusionment, but not as cynics. Teasdale associated moral and spiritual beauty with the harmonies of the natural world.
