A jazz-trained pianist who takes inspiration from the world of jazz music — preferring to eschew the often intricate and pre-programmed structures of electronica for spontaneous, live collaboration — Leah Chisholm, the artist known as LP Giobbi, is one of the world’s most interesting and important producers and DJs.
Built from candid recordings of friends and mentors, vocal lines from peers and heroes — including Brittany Howard, Panama, Danielle Ponder, and more — and warm, rich melodies, Dotr is LP Giobbi’s attempt to capture the comforts of home between hundreds of days spent on the road and between studios.
Named for the way she signed notes to her parents as a kid, Dotr is a celebration of both what she has and has lost. Built around a triage of grief, Dotr opens with loss: first, there was Patricia Lynn, the mother-in-law she had loved for a dozen years. Then there was Carolyn Horn, her piano teacher since second grade and an early electronic music student at the University of Oregon. She taught Chisholm not just what it was to play and compose, but what it was to create without inhibition. And finally, there was Suse Millman, a longtime friend of her parents who was the only professional artist she knew as a child, and thus a formative example for turning creative passion into a realized dream.
