NATURAL LIGHT is deLise’s first album as featured soloist. Of the compositions, deLise says, “For me, the impetus to create music can come from many places: my surroundings, life’s events (good or bad); or, simply, the urge to play with this or that pitch collection, time signature, or rhythm. Mostly, I make music I want to hear. Music helps me celebrate life’s ups and tolerate its downs. Making music usually helps me feel better about my circumstances. It is, indeed, my original balm of first choice. So it is with Natural Light.”
