Emissary
Its quite hard to describe the style or genre this music fits into, as it doesn't, so the best thing to do is listen to the streaming audio on this web site. If you don't like the track you're listening to, try another, the musical styles differ quite allot from track to track. So, the best I can do is to say the genre of music produced by Emissary is : Electronic-Ambient-Orchestral-Pop-Rock-New-age, so, just have a listen to as many tracks as you like, if you don't like anything, then check out other great bands on this site, if you do, then show your apprisiation, and
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started in 1980, inspired by the synth-pop boom, but didn't really amount to much, now technology has moved on, we have new-found interest in creating music and want to share it with the world.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No, strictly studio band only, we prefer to get that polished studio sound rather than a raw live sound.
