Artist Bio
Influences: classical music from Perotinus to Arvo Pärt, Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Nightwish [with Tarja Turunen], Van Canto, Dream Theater, Dimmu Borgir), some Goth music, people who have seen Earth from outer space, and my friends the incredible Singvøgel
I'm a repeat offender - 2021 is my 11th FAWM! My pronouns are they/them. She/her is fine, too!
Classically-trained mezzo-soprano, musicologist by training, opera school dropout, guitar dabbler, maker of weird electronic sounds.
Goals for this year: unbridled experimentation and creativity! I might continue my SuperCollider adventures, so there might be some weird bleepblops or some microtonal dissonant ambient.
I'm committing to #no-apologies-no-excuses this year - you're welcome to remind me of that if you catch me self-deprecating or making excuses for imperfect demos. I'm feeling self-conscious about a lot of things, but FAWM is not the place for that 😀
I was infected with the madness back in 2011 by my friends @Karan, @dukemeyer and @sentense. Greetings to my friends @wurzelfrau & @lastfuture and special smooches to my honeybunch @willoww!
re: comments - please don't be offended if I don't post a "thank you" on your soundboard. I just can't keep up with it, and I certainly don't expect you to do the same for me. Also, not commenting on my songs is OK if you can't quite figure out what to say.

Heyyy, I see you approaching 14! This is amazing! Keep at it - or not. It's just a number after all, and you have done so many great songs in such short amount of time! o/

Wow, on Scorpio Moon, GREAT pull on the reference to The Mission! That's the vibe I was going for, and the initial riff I'd started with was actually a bit of a variation on some riffs in Suite Sister Mary. The way they use open strings has always been huge for me.
I always appreciate when people spot references to deep cuts. 😁 -

I'm glad you got an 18th century vibe from "Hae Lass." That was exactly the era I was thinking of. 😁

Thanks for your comment on Until Then. When I first heard the piano track, I was reminded of Mary Black's Song for Ireland and I wanted to write something with nature in mind. So certainly inspired by Ireland.

Hey, thank you for your comment on Imaginary Oceans! I'm particularly happy you like the bass, I used Helm to create the right sound and I think I'm getting better with this synth! 😊

Hi, there! I just listened to your album "metric mayhem" and I was delighted to read it was made using only open source, I love it! I use mostly open source software for my songs as well, with the exception of a few plugins from OvertoneDSP (I like to support them because they support Linux).
Have a great FAWM, looking forward to hearing more of your stuff! -
