Ashwell Woodland, the ambient music project of Vancouver-based visual artist Laine Butler, is a project deeply rooted in personal experiences and emotions. It offers a reflective and intimate journey through sound and visuals. Launched with the release '460215' under Sensing Waves in mid 2020, the project represents Laine's deep engagement with an immersive auditory narrative - a tribute to Laine's father, transforming grief into healing through art, and demonstrating the transformative power of music in connecting deeply with its audience. Recently Ashwell Woodland has Released Timid Expanse on Reclusive Strategies.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
