Julie Tippetts ‎– Shadow Puppeteer

Julie Tippetts – Shadow Puppeteer

Shadow Puppeteer is a deeply atmospheric and exploratory work from Julie Tippetts, showcasing her singular voice and instinct for improvisation. Built largely around voice, minimal instrumentation, and found textures, the album moves between free jazz, experimental folk, and avant-garde soundscape, creating something that feels both intimate and otherworldly.

Tippetts uses her voice not just as a lyrical tool but as an instrument in itself - layering, stretching, and shaping sound into abstract forms. With elements like kalimba, zither, bells, and wind chimes woven throughout, the record has a ritualistic, almost meditative quality, blurring the lines between song, improvisation, and sonic art.

A truly unique listening experience, Shadow Puppeteer stands as a testament to Tippetts’ creative freedom and fearless approach to sound - ideal for listeners drawn to experimental, boundary-pushing music.
