She had just finished out a weekend of playing violin at Wanderlust Squaw Valley just northwest of Tahoe City, California in 2018\u2014and we&#8217;re lucky enough to have her back at <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/festivals\/seattle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wanderlust Seattle<\/a> this year.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI love playing at Wanderlust because there are so many chances to play, whether it\u2019s accompanying a class or performing on stage\u201d she says. I can sense her smile and elated spirit through the phone.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ida is a violinist, writer, and a yoga teacher of the Ghosh lineage. Her music explores the interconnectedness of humanity, and evokes a spiritual energy of both searching and grounding. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her most recent album, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/idajo.bandcamp.com\/album\/language-of-the-light\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Language of Light<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is specifically inspired by the yoga practice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt has more of a dance-y, electronic vibe, and incorporates synthesizers, keyboards and violin effects,&#8221; Ida says. The album sounds more full bodied and explorative than her earlier solo work, and the sound is unique in its use of live hand percussion paired with electronic dance music. Ida started the album with an idea of how she wanted each song to sound, and then opened it up to others to offer their insight. She is especially grateful for the insights of friend and collaborator <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottlampsyoga.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott Lamps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s helpful to have a fresh view on something that you\u2019re too invested in to see clearly,\u201d she says. For Ida, music is a form of healing. Her voice is unwavering and strong as she sings, \u201cWith the roots as our teachers \/ and the breath as our wings \/ and the quiet as the source of all that sings\/ in Earth as our witness.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a listener\u2019s perspective, It feels like an offering\u2014an invitation to join her in celebration of our connection to the earth and each other. She expresses that light is what binds us together, and it cannot be put out. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light is the freedom, light is a choice. Light is a language, light is our voice.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ida grew up in Wisconsin and began playing the violin when at seven, after begging her mother to let her take lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cI was drawn to the sound, and I didn\u2019t really know why. My mom wanted to make sure it wasn\u2019t just a passing thing,\u201d Ida says. Once she began her classical training, she took to the instrument like a fish to water. \u201cI wanted to have a classical foundation so that I could understand the technical perspective of how music works before exploring [her own sound].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As she grew older, Ida began to combine her knowledge of classical orchestral with folk, and transformed into the passionate fiddle player that she is today. She joined a group in Minnesota that traveled around the globe performing traditional folk music, and participated in fiddle competitions\u2014an integral part of her hometown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-122024\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/15019732502_25ca84d452_z.jpg\" alt=\"woman playing violin in woods silhouette\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/15019732502_25ca84d452_z.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/15019732502_25ca84d452_z-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI was really influenced by 60s and 70s southern soul and the rock groups that my mom would listen to,\u201d Ida says. She grew up on The Band, Bob Dylan, The Staple Singers, and later on fell in love with the music of Lilith Fair singer-songwriters ,including Sarah McLaughlin, Ani Difranco, and Jewel. After studying violin at University of Minnesota, she began playing in bands and working on her own music, fusing her rock, folk, and singer-songwriter influences. With the skills to shred and a vision of the sound she wants to create, Ida\u2019s music is unmatched in both its lyrical wisdom and unique string sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMost of my energy is focused on writing lyrics\u201d says Ida. \u201cThat\u2019s not to say that the music is secondary, but if I\u2019m going to write something that people are going to listen to, I want to make sure that they mean something.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wanted to study the patterns in people, and their tendencies and energies.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspiration for Ida runs the gamut. Sometimes her lyrics are based on personal experience and sometimes they&#8217;re more observational, specifically within her latest album. Finding inspiration isn&#8217;t easy, she notes. While some ideas are more obvious, others take a little bit of digging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUsually I\u2019ll be in the middle of something and will come up with an idea and try to jot it down,\u201d Ida says. \u201cBut I don\u2019t believe that you have to be inspired to write. I\u2019ll sit down and write even if I\u2019m not feeling it and see what comes out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This view is similar to the notion that one does not have to be in the right environment or headspace\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/material-girl-found-meditation-can\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to meditate<\/a>. Rather, meditation should be practiced during times of groundlessness. Ida is familiar with the benefits of this work\u2014she notes mindfulness practices have helped her become mentally and physically strong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cIt takes strength to carry it all,\u201d she says \u201cand then make sense of it and put it out there for others. My mindfulness practice serves to make my music as pure and clear as it can be.\u201d Ida further explains that these practices, whether yoga or meditation, have allowed her to be more aware of people around her and translate that energy into sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ida first discovered yoga in her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. She notes that the practice changed every aspect of her life, particularly her approach to music. For one thing, it allowed her to stay grounded while touring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOnce I discovered yoga, it wasn\u2019t long before I got really into it,\u201d she says. She soon decided that she wanted to delve deeper into her studies, so she and bandmate Scott Lamps enrolled to study with renowned teacher of the Bikram lineage, Tony Sanchez in Cabo, Mexico. Sanchez is well-known in the bikram community, and Ida tells me that she first heard about him in <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.benjaminlorr.net\/hell-bent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benjamin Lorr\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> book <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hell-Bent: Obsession, Pain, and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Competitive Yoga<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where he notes the profundity of working with Sanchez. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2015, Ida traveled to Kolkata to work at Ghosh\u2019s Yoga College and helped them to begin their teacher training program. She is now an ambassador to the college, and has since co-authored the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghoshyoga.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ghosh Yoga Practice Manual<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottlampsyoga.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott Lamps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ida Jo\u2019s unique history in both music and yoga has given her the opportunity to fuse the two into mindful experiences. When playing for a yoga class, she says that she often uses her own songs as a base to spring from, adding in improvisation based on the energy of the people in the room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s helped me to interact with people and think more about their experience, rather than performing,\u201d Ida notes. \u201cIn performances you end up thinking a lot about yourself, but playing for classes is a service to people\u2019s experience.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a class with Ida, or simply check out one of her concerts, and you\u2019ll see what we\u2019re talking about. Her music is a gift, a present to those hoping to find clarity in their own lived experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-59017\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/jillian.jpg\" alt=\"jillian\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" \/>Jillian Billard is a poet, yoga teacher, cellist and avid wanderer.
