Lynda Arnold is a jack of all trades in the music business, simultaneously operating as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer, performer and educator. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lynda performs and produces as 'Divasonic' molding her own sound of downtempo, house and d-n-b mixed with ethereal vocals and jazz flute inprovisations. Her label credits include EMI, Clubstar (Germany), Cyberset (SF), Epiphyte (SF) and her own label, Digital Bliss. Experimentation is key to the development of the Divasonic sound as well as collaboration and performance with other talented musicians in an attempt to redefine the concept of song.

Changing Wind
Divasonic’s second full-length, Changing Wind, is available online and in stores now. Previous releases are currently available through online retailers such as cdbaby.com. Changing Wind includes collaborations with many very talented Artists.
Lynda uses Changing Wind more as an outlet for contemplations about relationships, including the ups and downs of “elations, surprises, sensuality, reality, growth, partnership, nurturing, falling in love, and enduring love through its changes.” It also stretches a bit further musically, showing off a stronger jazz influence mixed with stronger soul and pop vibes, all wrapped around the elements Lynda has come to be known for, including drum-and-bass rhythms, experimental percussive sounds, and flute and vocal melodies derived from her own poetry. Mastering done by Anthony Casuccio for Xtream Audio For more information, visit Divasonic online at Divasonic.com. To request an interview with Divasonic, please contact Rainmaker Public Relations.

By: Charity VanDeberg
Staff Writer For those of us who have been desperately waiting for trip-hop and down-tempo music to make its big comeback, Digital Bliss' first compilation is a highly anticipated gift.Digital Bliss Productions is the brainchild of Divasonic's Lynda Arnold, established to promote the uncelebrated women in the electronic music industry, one which has always been dominated by their better known male counterparts. Each track in the compilation is an example of excellence from independent female producers, musicians, and vocalists hailing from all over the world.
For those of us who have been desperately waiting for trip-hop and down-tempo music to make its big comeback, Digital Bliss' first compilation is a highly anticipated gift. As a collection of 12 mellow, electronic, dance tunes highlighted by stunning female vocals, it couldn't be more perfect. Each song seems to have been carefully handpicked by committee for its mood, vocal and musical attributes, originality, and the artist's storytelling talent. And as listeners, we are the ones to reap the benefits of their meticulous efforts. There isn't enough time to extol the virtues of every amazing treasure on this album. If we discuss the brilliant storytelling in Alu's 'Confessions to the Undertaker,' the ethereal beauty of Return to Mono's 'Give Me Something,' or Loop!Station's PJ Harvey-inspired 'Sweeter,' we would be leaving out the haunting 'Lagoon (Baba)' by Artemis and the politically charged 'Chaos Among Us,' not to mention the other eight wonderful songs. But Digital Bliss Vol. 1 does more than just introduce us to a world of music we may not have found on our own pebble strewn paths; it teaches us a couple of things. We learn that only a woman's voice can sound so absolutely otherworldly and the violin is like the gorgeously wicked older sister to the rowdy electric guitar.
