216. Redefining Wellbeing: Rohan Pardasani

In this episode Monica and Tricia explore music in many capacities. We talk about clinical music, performance music, healing music, and anti-precious music. Tune in to hear more about the beauty and ephemeral nature of music making. Care Chronicles shop Forest Veil is the solo work of Portland, OR producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Monica Metzler. Following the echoes of her elusive muse, Forest Veil creates hypnotic psych-folk that maps the emotional terrain of humanity and its place in the cosmos. Melding a voice that sounds like smokey quartz with psychedelic guitar riffs and enigmatic lyricism, Forest Veil’s sound evokes a haunting nostalgia for other worlds. Though she primarily writes on her own, Forest Veil records and performs with others. An avid guitarist for over 25 years, Forest Veil’s music showcases virtuosic guitar shredding and dynamic musicality. Forest Veil’s music has been placed in ads, movies, and TV shows. Metzler previously released music under Moniker. Her first work as Forest Veil came in the form of her 2016 release, Zoolights. This album was released on Spirit House Records, which she co-founded with musician Johnanna Warren, in the same year. She currently plays drums for the Portland all-femme band, Pool Boys. In addition to her musical pursuits, Metzler is a Program Director at a youth music non-profit (My Voice Music) and an experiential arts family therapist.
