("Pitt graduate fights for health care reform, one film at a time" ), ''The Pitt News'', November 18, 2013. Accessed December 10, 2014. "Sokolow grew up in the suburbs of Holmdel, N.J., an area that, according to Sokolow, isn’t known for a robust arts scene."〕 At nineteen, she released a lo-fi indie album, “Something About Violins”, through Western Vinyl that achieved acclaim from Pitchfork, ''Wire'', and ''The Washington Post''. Often drawing comparisons to Cat Power and Mirah,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julie Sokolow: "Your Wrists" )〕 Sokolow has gained acclaim for her decidedly lo-fi sound; the entirety of ''Something About Violins'' was recorded using the built-in microphone of her PowerBook G4.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julie Sokolow ) 〕 Her music, which predominantly consists simply of her vocals and acoustic guitar, has been noted for its subtletly and introspectiveness.〔 Sokolow has also been heralded not just for the intimacy of her music, but for her awareness of her own fragile emotional state.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Julie Sokolow: Something About Violins )〕 All of the work on ''Something About Violins'', including mixing, instrumentation, and album packaging art, was done by Sokolow herself. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, she began to direct independent documentaries that have appeared at TIME and Huffington Post. In 2014, The New York Times profiled Sokolow and the documentary series she created: "Healthy Artists". The series highlights the lives, talents, and struggles of uninsured artists in America. In 2014, her short film "Street Doctor" went viral. In 2015, Sokolow released her first documentary feature, "Aspie Seeks Love", which went on to win the Cinequest Film Festival award for Best Documentary Feature Film. The film chronicles David V. Matthews, an offbeat writer on a quest to find love after a late-in-life Aspergers diagnosis. She produced, directed, and edited the film, in addition to composing the score. Sokolow’s work is often character-driven and explores the friction between the individual and society. ==''Something About Violins'' track listing== #"Seasons" #"Your Wrists" #"Alternations" #"Violins" #"Expanse's Net" #"Solid" #"Business As Usual" #"Pictures" #"End March" #"In the Greenhouse" #"Motion Screen" #"All the Wrong Reasons" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julie Sokolow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
