Bio

.. ELANE’s sources are the deep forests of the Sauerland (”The Sour Lands”). But meanwhile the musicians Joran, Skaldir, Nico and Simon live in Western, Southern and Middle Germany. 
The virtuosi once again created with ease thier specific melange out of organic and electronic sounds which had become their trademark. With a fantastic female voice, acoustic and electronic guitars, violin, viola, cello and harp, soft sound scapes, drums and percussion as well as bombastic orchestral arrangements ELANE create their distinctive sound so that their music has an enormous recognition value.
ELANE are glad to have a rapidly growing fan base, which is as colourful as hardly another one. It is indeed a mirror of the musical languages that ELANE’s songs are speaking.

    ELANE's sources are the deep forests of the Sauerland ("The Sour Lands"). But meanwhile the musicians Joran, Skaldir, Nico and Simon live in Western, Southern and Middle Germany... The virtuosi once again created with ease thier specific melange out of organic and electronic sounds which had become their trademark. With a fantastic female voice, acoustic and electronic guitars, violin, viola, cello and harp, soft sound scapes, drums and percussion as well as bombastic orchestral arrangements ELANE create their distinctive sound so that their music has an enormous recognition value. ELANE are glad to have a rapidly growing fan base, which is as colourful as hardly another one. It is indeed a mirror of the musical languages that ELANE's songs are speaking. Band website: www.Elane-Music.com "The Silver Falls" (2008) "The Silver Falls", ELANE's third longplay album, has – besides the well-known folk elements of the first two cds – stronger accentuated electronic sounds, fine dark wave backgrounds as well as a little touch of melodic rock, a quantum of world music and some heavenly voices parts. All fit together by a fine orchestral sound, which is leading through the album – just like a leitmotif. In this variety of genres and deeper atmospheres the band unifies their enchanting sounds almost constantly with Drums and Percussion. .... The Limited First Edition DigiPak of "The Silver Falls" contains – besides the regular 12 album songs – the bonus song "Three Roses" as well as an additional 5.1 Surround Mix of "Elfennacht". .... The album is released by Curzwehyl (also Faun, Persephone and many others). ...... The meaning of "The Silver Falls" "The Silver Falls" are impressingly beautiful water falls in the land of Glenvore, the fantastic home of ELANE's music. One stream ends here, and another one, even more lively is born. But the image of a waterfall also marks the almost never ending creativity which flew into the songs. The Silver shows the brilliance of the tracks and their noble grace. Silver can e.g. be found in the lyrics of the songs "Silverleaf", "Paperboat & Silverkite" and "Elfennacht". .... Songs:.. Open The Gates.. Elfennacht.. Silverleaf.. The Land Through Your Eyes.. Paperboat & Silverkite.. The Emerald Princess.. Crimson Lullaby: The Weight Of The World.. Crimson Lullaby: The Dreamer.. Amber Fields.. My Promised Land.. Enchantment (Dance With A Storm).. One Last Time.... Bonus: Three Roses.. Bonus: Elfennacht (5.1 Surround-Mix Data Track).. .... ELANE live.. Since 2004 ELANE play live over Europe with changing shows. They played live gigs on numerous festivals such as M'era Luna (D), Wave Gotik Treffen (D), Trolls and Legends Festival (B), Ring*Con (official German Lord of the Rings convention) or the Burgfolk (D). They also played concerts together with Qntal (D), Corvus Corax (D), In The Nursery (GB), Faun (D), John Kelly & Maite Itoiz, Dornenreich (A), Neun Welten (D), Unto Ashes (USA) and Lyriel (D). .. .. A look to the Past .... .. Quiet tunes, warm mooded sounds and a strongly fantastic atmosphere characterized ELANE's debut album "The Fire of Glenvore" (2004)... With the "Love can't wait" e.p. (2005 they bulit a musical bridge from their debut to the forthcoming second longplay cd "Lore of N?n" (2006). .."Lore of N?n" was full of energy. A powerful, mighty orchestral sound marks the first notes. Then retreating into a familiar, atmospheric vocal ambience just to let the whitecaps dance again, as heard on "Journey". This is only the prelude to a new adventurous trip through the enchanted landscapes of ELANE's fantastic world. .... The departure into another land, leaving home... not only in "The Night I left", also in the real world ELANE had to take leave. Lead singer Joran leaves the beloved Sauerland in Autumn 2005 and moves southwards. Thus, many of the songs heard on "Lore of N?n" are marked by yearning and the search for a new home, but also by wanderlust..... What is the meaning of "Lore of N?n"? .. It's a saga. "N?n" is the Quenya word for "Water"..."The Saga of Water", you could also say. Linking both languages, English and Quenya, Tolkien's langague of the Elves, shows ELANE also strike new paths on a linguistic level. .... Not every song is directly related to water (like e.g. "Nen ar Tasar", "Eyes of a Stranger" or "Pale Sea"). It's more about a life and a world in a constant state of flux. Never standing still, always going ahead. The song "On and on" is a good example therefor..... So far, all of ELANE's song lyrics had been written in English, but now there are also German and Quenya elements on "Lore of N?n". E.g. "Licht" ("Light") and "Nen ar Tasar" ("Water and Willow"). ..Also the soprano voice of guest musician Neniel Tind?merel lifts ELANE's music onto yet another level. This diversified variety is the album's most important constitutional element..... Press voices ....
