Cellist and performing artist Simone Seales is passionate about exploring how sound can reflect emotional states of being. In their debut album, 'I believe in living', Seales responded to Assata Shakur's poem 'Affirmation' through solo cello and voice, using Shakur’s evocative language as a springboard to create a sound world which holds space for discomfort, beauty, hope, and grief.
