Jamie Browning's first solo album "SONGS OF SATURNALIA" contains 13 tracks plus surprises, written mostly during her time with the band Saturnalia. The album was recorded at Wellesley Sound in Toronto and mixed at Wellesley and Phase One with engineers Jeff McCulloch and Walter Sobczak respectively, and producer extraordinaire Derrol Flynn (Daryl Purdy). Along with past, present and future band members Jamie was joined by stellar guest artists, weaving a wonderful web of musical intrigue to accompany her powerful vocal and lyrical creations. Ranging from raunch to sweet innocence, strong moods are created as her subtly subversive lyrics melt into the richly textured soundscapes. In addition to musical collaborations, the album boasts unique approaches to other forms of artistic expression. In the poetic vein, Jamie co-wrote the vocals of "Rien Que Le Silence" with Cyril Prono, aka Indy, a poet visiting from France. Jamie wrote the vocal melody and Indy wrote the actual words, amazingly to her exact number of syllables. Original artwork for the cd booklet was created by international sculptor Pancho Sardinha, who was given by Jamie lyrics, premixes and an invitation to interpret the songs visually. His use of lush, rich pastels is a gorgeous compliment to the music and is integral to Jamie's layout and design, which also incorporates photos from a previous collaboration with sculptor Maddalena Di Gregorio.
