"Shadow & Dust" are Joshua Alan and Laura Olivier
You can listen and buy there wonderful music on their website.


Who is Shadow & Dust ?

J.A: I'm 31 years old, I play guitar, drums, bass, harmonica, keyboards and piano.

Laura is my wife, co-producer and adds some electronic sounds to songs...sometimes a little background vocals ; she plays piano, keyboards.

We live about 30 minutes outside downtown Los Angeles in a urban area: Fullerton. 

How did you start playing/singing ?

J.A: I began to play piano and quietly sing around 6 or 7 years old after my mother bought my uncle's piano... Starting recording my own songs around 12 years old with a analog tape recorder in my bedroom with a Casio keyboard and microphone.

Where comes from your inspiration ? Your music looks close to nature ...

J.A: Inspiration comes mostly from my family I have three young children that are amazing musicians you will here about them in a couple of years. We camp a lot as a family in a little mobile trailer ...we frequent beach camping and mountain ranges here in the States..Inspiration does come from reflecting on these trips. I would say that my music is a reflection of my internal thoughts on nature, hope, family, love, God, peace, death and personal relationships etc.... I think a lot about our existance and when I sing these spiritual stories just develop from nowhere.

In the end my music is the echo of my soul ...sounds of a father.... his childrens tears and laughter ...and my lovers friendship.

Where can we find your music ?

J.A: For now we plan to only release songs though MP3 downloads on our SNOCAP store as with previous cds we make a couple of hundred cds and when they sell out we don't make anymore...
