SAILING THE SOLAR WIND - The Tunnel Singer (Electronic / Ambient) Lee Ellen has always had a passion for singing in areas that had beautiful, natural reverb qualities, and the advent of computer software also allows her to do so now in a ‘virtual tunnel’. One could almost describe Lee Ellen’s music as a more concrete version of Constance Demby’s space music, but it is more than that, and certainly original, too. Weaving the human voice, various instruments, and electronic sounds, the Tunnel Singer has created a rhythmic, haunting voyage through space, sailing the solar winds, but then she also takes us on an imaginative musical and mystical journey across the Earth. We experience an ‘enchanted rain’, become a ‘desert flower’ and the red colour of the first chakra, explore ‘sea caves’, and finally take part in a ‘raven dance’. Lee Ellen’s other CDs are just as interesting, offering her own fascinating musical interpretations and improvisations on the constellations (Night Skies), the sea and inner space (Water Birth), the flight of ravens through Time (Ravens in Moonlight), and Celtic music (Inner Runes). All performed in various natural and electronic tunnels. Eclectic and creative music well worth a listen. http://www.tunnelsinger.com
