Bio
.. .. .."...Sylvi has a haunting, heavenly voice that quickly finds the resonant frequency of your heart and shakes it to pieces..." Sam Hurwitt.. .......... .......... Download at iTunes.:.. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=260053156.. .. Review excerpts:.. VESSEL.. "'Vessel' is a must have for lovers of dark, ethereal music. Every track bewitches." ~Craig Laurance Gidney.. A HUNDRED BIRDS .. "This album is a glittering jewel in a coalmine, waiting to be discovered by a fortunate traveler." ~Anna Maria Stjärnell (www.collectedsounds.com).. .. "Somewhere between gothic folk and ambient music, 'A Hundred Birds' is a dark, mellow journey in myth and madness. The instrumentation mixes electronics and acoustics into hypnotic, gentle and slightly disturbing soundscapes. Alli's voice vacillates between soaring highs and exploring the lower range of her voice....Her songs are filled with visionary images that linger in the mind.....For lovers of 'heavenly voices' and folk noir." ~ethereal-lad .. ___________________________________________________________________________ ..
