Liz Ames

**Liz Ames** is a Seattle-based experimental composer and multi-instrumentalist known for weaving ambient textures, neo-classical arrangements, and field recordings into introspective soundscapes. Her work, including albums like *Westland* (2022) and *Notturno*, often blends organic instrumentation with electronic manipulation, drawing inspiration from nature, memory, and the tactile qualities of materials (as hinted in *Felt, Metal, Wood*). With a background in jazz and electronic music, she’s carved out a niche in collaborative projects, like *Project Encore, Vol. 1*, and DIY recordings that embrace lo-fi intimacy. A quiet force in the Pacific Northwest’s avant-garde scene, Ames’ releases, such as *delta waves* and *of Light and Shadows*, feel like sonic journals—unhurried, emotionally resonant, and gently immersive.
