I just misspelt 'proposal' as 'pooposal'. I hope it doesn't reflect on the quality of the proposal itself! Eep. #everythingdueintwoweeks

A teacher just asked me to write up an essay of the research I've been doing, then gave me the option of telling him to fuck off instead.

Watching Girls for the first time - cringing at the sex scenes but excited to discover the existence of string cheese! That looks like fun.

ATTENTION ORISHA FANS!
Alo.
Just a quick note to say I'm sorry I'm hardly on myspace anymore so it's no longer the best way to contact me.
The mountains of spam and games that crowd out my inbox make it too painful to find the genuine mail hidden in there! If you want to message me, please write to orishamusic @ gmail.com, I check that regularly.
I still check this now and then for friend reqs and put gigs up but the inbox is just too hard to navigate.
Meanwhile I am holed up writing a new album... might release it under my actual name though, not decided yet. Stay tuned!
I'm also on facebook.com/orishamusic
twitter.com/emicorn
and www.orishamusic.com
but the best way to reach me is still email!

Love your stuff ORISHA always. Anyways after 4 years one death one breakdown in Hong Kong, and me finishing the album form a hospital bed after being severely beaten up by a deranged cab driver, here the new single from the new atone ALBUM "LIVE AND LOVE YOUR LIFE" on vocals the great late ALI OMAR. I love you to take a little time out and have a listen to see what you think. The video was made by the brilliant DAS BERLIN KOLLEKTIVE,

Orisha explore the boundary between tense restraint and total surrender with their lush, vocal-based electronica. Their critically-acclaimed eponymous debut took listeners on a moody sonic journey through jazz, dub, and industrial influences, lifted by the ethereal vocals of
Emah Fox, a voice described by Rolling Stone as
'lush and emotive'.
Tracks from the first album received airplay across Australia, Europe and America, including high rotation on JJJ, featured in compilations and in independent films, and was Revolver Magazine's dance CD of the week. Their second album, 'Falling Open' takes the strengths of Orisha's debut , now adding choral, operatic, and discordant harmonies for a more intimate and playful album that still retains the dark mystery of the first.
Live, Orisha features Emah on vocals,keyboard & samples, joined by Mark Cauvin on double bass and Amy Valent on marimba & percussion.
Orisha’s music continues to evoke raw, sometimes contradictory moods – at once melancholic, uplifting, brutal, and more.
Their heartfelt lyrics and lavish soundscapes create an elusive sense of mystery that haunts listeners long after the music has ceased...
.. ‘Once in a while an album seems to come out of nowhere and knock you sideways… this is a richly textured collection of tracks… emotive vocals and fine lyrics…’
– Ministry of Sound
‘The way her (vocalist Emah Fox) lush, emotive voice works within the dense and tricky tech-beat soundscapes here is nothing short of joyous… a rich sense of melody and drama.’
- Rolling Stone
‘Darkly beautiful, organic, sincere, haunting – everything that’s missing from so much modern music… it’s love at first listen.’
- Zebra
‘This is ambient electronica at its finest… the entire album is somewhat of a revelation… world-class electronica …’
