The Code of the flowers - ayla nereo

(co-produced by Ryan Herr)

In 2016, Ayla Nereo put the finishing touches on a fresh batch of original music and decamped to Jumpsuit Farms Studios in Northern California, hunkering down for three weeks of intensive recording. For the ceremonial convergence, Ayla was joined by multi-instrumentalists Ryan Herr and Tyson Leonard, who both play on and co-produce The Code of the Flowers. The terrific trio burned the midnight oil and was ably assisted by Ayla’s band members Amelia Rae (piano, harp, and vox) and Brian Parks (percussion and vox), as well as violinist Lydia Violet, flutist Jesse James, and longtime friends MaMuse. In assembling a diverse band of acoustic musicians, incorporating elements cinematic and technological, and manifesting what stands among her most inspired melodic poetry, Nereo has crafted an indelible testament to the movement, and a prodigious addition to her ever-evolving songbook.
