Dark Muse is a one woman dream project offering sounds in haunting lush Ethereal Alchemy, minimal, improvised experimental, darkwave & dark ambient noise flow, coming to a dream near you...

Mostly I refer to it as somber tidings & the soundtrack to my haunted life...

I have been creating sounds with voice, all my life & approach vocals in sound with pure emotion & raw power of experimentation ... While using my voice as an instrument, I am able to manifest textures & layers of patterns with depth.

My true passion is music... I am here to be a vessel for sound to flow.
