North Star Sound Signatures

by Jee Young Sim

Jump!Star sound artist Jee Young Sim has developed a “sound signature” to correspond with each of the eventual North Stars. Versions of these songs were first performed live in Pioneer Bluffs, KS in 2018 by:

Rob Loren, violin
Kelly Werts, guitar
Paul Elwood
Matt Kirby, hammered dulcimer
Susan Mayo, cello

The versions found here are works in progress, recorded and mixed by David Lord at Air House Studios in Wichita, KS. They feature the following musicians, who will also be performing them live at Symphony in the Flint Hills on June 15, 2019:

Rob Loren, violin
Kelly Werts, guitar
Randy Zellars, electric guitar
Von Hansen, percussion
Seth Carrithers, bass
Matt Kirby, hammered dulcimer
Susan Mayo, cello


Many thanks to the musicians for sharing their remarkable talents, to Susan for her generosity of spirit in connecting us with these brilliant folks, and to David for his support and dedication in creating a record of these celestial sounds.
