This is a love story.
It’s the story of a girl with a love for life, a guy with love for the power of music.
This is the story of Isabelle Dunlop and Mark Henning.
This is the story of Combine The Victorious.
Isabelle, her excitement for every detail of life; each blade of grass or slightest smile. I think of her bravery in stepping into a new medium, and beyond her already burgeoning reputation as a quite wonderful fashion designer. I think of my indelicate initial suggestions to improve her singing, and how she rebounded from the hurt to grow into the charismatic presence she is in Combine and Sex With Strangers. Her voice, often frail, sometimes little more than a breath, retains the strength to reach through the mix and grab the heart with both hands. Elsewhere, she is a shining invitation to just live fully in each moment.
Mark, his mastery, his architect’s grace and finesse, building musical cathedrals in which each of us may find our own meaning and space. I think of his evolution from an early career in Pure and Blisterene, through his own solo recordings, to his current crop of projects, all the time emerging more fully into his own shape and form. It is a fascinating and intriguing thing to watch an artist yield to his potential; butterflies from chrysalids. I think of Mark on a brief visit to our family a few years back, how his belief in his own talent, then constrained by circumstance, created frustration that threatened to pull him apart. This is Beethoven, I thought, or Van Gogh; the struggle playing out before us, passion for a vision strong enough to make us laugh, cry, dance and shout “YES!” at the top of our lungs.
