Brand new song on Grey's Anatomy!

Check out Ingrid's brand new song "Turn to Stone" as heard in last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy at iTunes!

R.E.M.

I had the good fortune to be one of 20 artists asked to be part of the R.E.M. tribute show at Carnegie Hall two nights ago. I did “Nightswimming” armed with only a looping pedal and my friend Chris on upright bass. I love that song. It seasoned my summer of ‘93. I listened to Automatic for the People on constant rotation that summer. So when I was asked which song I wanted to do, I knew immediately.

R.E.M. was there, in the audience. I have never been so nervous in all of my life. I was trembling a good 20 minutes after I walked off stage. I felt like I had a switch on my back that was flipped onto the “vibrate” setting. The main reason why I was so scared was because I had just learned how to use a looping pedal recently and had never performed in front of people with it. I chose Carnegie Hall to be the venue to break open my looping pedal skills for the very first time. Why? Why on earth would I choose to do that? Why would I put myself through such anxiety? Because fear is to be battled. Fear is to be eaten and digested. To do something that frightens you, and to come through unscathed, even stronger, is incredibly empowering.

I looked at Chris (who was as nervous as I) and he looked at me, we both took a big breath and began. And i just sang. I closed my eyes and sang. At one point, I opened my eyes and took in the beauty and majesty of Carnegie Hall. And I thought to myself, “enjoy this Ingrid, f*cking ENJOY IT!” My voice over my voice over my voice over my voice laced with Chris’ beautiful bass lines, bowing and plucking, swirled and hung in the air. I could feel it. I could almost see it. It was a night that I will never forget. And I am thankful for it.

I hope you have the chance to pummel fear into the dirt.

Punch punch punch.

GIGGLY GOO: when i was a child, i wanted things that did not exist. actually, i still want things that do not exist. i loved the Berenstein Bears books. there was a christmas edition where it listed toys that the kid bears wanted. sister bear wanted a many things, but most intriguing to me was the moldable snot green goop called “GIGGLY GOO”. i asked my parents for it. i did not understand when they said it was not “real”…how could it not be real? it was in this book, this cartoon book right in front of me. i could make all sorts of snot sculptures and figures. endless fun. the burning desire for this ficticious slime drove me insane. i would think about it at night, lying in the bed. one year, i got some slimy squishy blob that, when squeezed into its container, would make a fart sound. it proved to provide hours of fun. even when covered in hair and dirt. but it never filled the Giggly Goo void.

ANNIE: when i was 4ish, i wanted Annie to come over and have a sleep over. again, my poor parents had to break the news that she was not “real”. it pissed me off…this “not real” thing. i just thought Annie was a bitch and did not want to come over. at one point, my parents told me the girl who played annie (what????) was probably much older than me at the present time anyway, and it would not be fun for me. this was baffling to me.

why am i plagued with this want for things that do not exist? maybe one day, 8 year old Annie will come to my door with a jar of Giggly Goo and all my dreams will come true. may
