Alison Cotton’s The Portrait You Painted of Me is a 2022 recording that blends experimental folk, drone and string-based composition into a richly atmospheric work. The album moves between slow-building instrumental passages and more meditative arrangements, with a spacious, immersive feel throughout. Highlights include “The Bells of St. Clements” and “The Last Wooden Ship,” showcasing Cotton’s viola playing and layered approach to sound.
