Me-Lee is the main composer for moZaiKa. Bands such as Massive Attack, Lamb and Bjork are a common influence for their edgy electronica sounds combined with strong melodies all to create a textural mood which one can sink their ears into. Me-Lee also maintains her love for the piano classical composers particularly Chopin, Debussy and the 20th century australian composer Miriam Hyde. Combining these two very opposing forces of classical meeting electronica Me-Lee hopes to make moZaiKa an original sound which listeners can journey with and their aural senses being tantalised click here for more info on Me-Lee

DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW!!
All recording, engineering and production by Me-Lee
Imagine being physically immersed in a cauldron filled with Bjork electronica beats and textures, angelic vocals of Portishead and then throw in the visual feast of Graham Murphy contemporary style dance and Jackson Pollack style art. These are some of the inspirations from which Me-Lee, the brain child behind moZaiKa, draws on to create not only music but a multi-sense experience for the auditory, visual and proporioceptive systems of the human mind.
moZaiKa is a project that aims to collaborate with not only musicains but with visual artists, film makers, photographers, dancers, sound scape artists in fact anyone who is willing to cross and interchange the boundaries of multi-media and genre.
Primarily the music is an original blend of Alternative, Electronica and Classical music sometime experimental, always original.
Line up includes a core of classical piano, synths, electronica loops and Me-Lee's vocals and she can be accompanied by acoustic and electronic stringed intruments, electronic drummer and even giant sized projections of film, photos and paintings.

Your camping trip sounds fun! We recently went to a mountain . . Big Bear Mountain . .it's the only place around here with real snow. I hope you enjoy the movie! The Muse song is played during one of my favorite scenes: the Cullens playing baseball in the meadow. Hapy New Year to you and Claude!
Hi Me-Lee! I really enjoyed the movie. For the most part, it followed the plot of the book - whew! Edward, Bella, and Jacob are fantastic. I thought that the Cullen family wore a bit too much make-up, and I wish more scenes developed Edward and Bella's relationship (the meadow scene was too short!) The only scene I did not like was in the ballet studio. Overall, I loved it and plan to see it again! AND I hear they got the green light for a New Moon movie. :D
Thanks for the great comment, it's appreciated. To be honest your music has me entranced, it's such a great synergy of melody and synth... I've been slowly introducing you to my friends so watch out for some more fans :)
