Hippie Gospel Songs captures Simone Forti’s unique blend of experimental folk, written during her transformative years around the Woodstock Festival and her collaborations in California with Charlemagne Palestine. Renowned as a pioneering postmodern artist, dancer, and choreographer, Forti infuses these intimate compositions with memories of Italian folk songs, Tai Chi influences, and reflections on her time in Woodstock and the California Institute of the Arts.
This evocative collection intertwines themes of nature, movement, and farewell, with a personal resonance drawn from Forti’s own experiences—whether singing to saved insects or driving through orange groves in her cherished Blue Angel. Carefully scored by Charlemagne Palestine, the songs offer listeners and collectors a rare glimpse into Forti's creative practice, where sound, memory, and avant-garde artistry converge.
