Anjelica Lindsey Releases PERHAPS: Abstractions
12 Movements for Violin and Piano, Reimagined Through Tape and Effects
Tulsa, Oklahoma – Acclaimed composer Anjelica Lindsey unveils PERHAPS: Abstractions, a bold new album now available on Spotify and all major streaming platforms. The work consists of twelve movements originally composed for violin and piano, deconstructed and reimagined through analog tape processing and experimental effects.
Recorded at Wild Mountain Studios in Tulsa, Oklahoma, PERHAPS: Abstractions was created in close collaboration with audio engineer and experimental sound artist Mark Kuykendall (The New Honey Shade). Together, Lindsey and Kuykendall used tape manipulation to blur the lines between classical precision and ethereal abstraction, transforming traditional chamber instrumentation into a reflective, dreamlike soundscape.
“This project is an exploration of intimacy and imperfection,” Lindsey explains. “By abstracting the acoustic foundation through tape and effects, the music reveals hidden layers of meaning, inviting listeners to engage with both the familiar and the unexpected.”
Lindsey, whose work frequently merges personal history with larger cultural narratives, continues to push the boundaries of her practice. From her orchestral compositions to experimental projects like PERHAPS: Abstractions, her music is grounded in a deep commitment to innovation and emotional resonance.
PERHAPS: Abstractions marks another milestone in Lindsey’s career, offering audiences a chance to experience her artistry in a new and transformative light.
PERHAPS: Abstractions is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms.

Historic Premiere of OKLAHOMA WOMAN QUARTET by Cherokee-American Composer Anjelica Lindsey
Tulsa, OK – Oklahoma Woman Quartet, a groundbreaking chamber music work by Cherokee-American composer Anjelica Lindsey, will premiere live in March 2025, marking a historic moment for Oklahoma and Cherokee culture.
This free, ticketed public chamber music performance at The Bellview in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will showcase composer Anjelica Lindsey’s original compositions arranged for string quartet and voice, spanning over two decades of her work and highlighting her unique perspective as an indigenous woman from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The quartet will feature musicians from the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra, including Associate Concertmaster Ronnamarie Jensen (violin), Paulo Eskitch (violin), and Ashley Allison (cello), along with Ethan Landis (viola) from the Bartlesville Symphony Orchestra. Anjelica Lindsey will perform as the vocalist.
Special guest composer and arranger/orchestrator of Oklahoma Woman Quartet, Dr. Noam Faingold, will provide remarks and two of his original compositions will be performed.
The concert is presented in partnership with Artist Creative Fund and CACHE Create.
The project not only celebrates Lindsey’s musical achievements but also represents the first time a Cherokee woman has composed and premiered a string quartet.
“This project is a deeply personal reflection of my journey as a Cherokee woman and composer,” says Lindsey. “I hope it will open doors for indigenous artists and bring greater awareness to our contemporary cultural heritage. We need more Native women represented in modern ways in film and music and this is just the beginning.”
The Oklahoma Woman Quartet is more than a musical endeavor; it is a cultural milestone, highlighting one of the few female orchestral composers from the Cherokee Nation. By blending classical string arrangements with Lindsey’s distinct voice, the performance aims to create a powerful and evocative experience for all audiences.
