The musical duo of Vickie Dodd and James Hoskins explores new musical territory that is at once organic and otherworldly.

Vickie is a vocalist, a pioneer in the art of sound healing and a musician who has taught and performed internationally.  In performance, she intuitively draws inspiration from the people and environment around her, channeling this into improvised vocalization, with a four-octave range that spans throat singing and many other techniques.

The unique human connection of Vickie’s voice is matched by James Hoskins on cello.  A prolific artist whose work has ranged from classical to free improvisation to jazz to Eastern European to experimental, James joins polished technique with a soft instinctual touch that is rare among classically trained musicians.

Together, Vickie and James spontaneously generate an improvised soundscape that is unlike any other and changes throughout each performance.  They’ve known each other for 25 years, and that link manifests in the smooth transformations of their music.  Together they have recorded over a dozen albums.  Their new album, their first recording project as a duet, is called Found Sound, and will be released on Right Brain Records in late spring 2019.
