Thanks to the help from you guys through kickstarter, I was able to commission some very special physical copies of The Court of Leaves. They are currently in production now and will be shipped in April! Although most of these 1000 copies are going to people that pre-ordered them through the kickstarter, there will be about 210 copies left. They are available for purchase on my website now, if you'd like one!
Due to the amount of money raised through the kickstarter I held recently, I will be able to not only replace my broken recording equipment, but get some crucial upgrades I'd only dreamed about before. The sound quality will be taking a dramatic leap. Again, extremely grateful for this chance! Will not let you guys down this year!
My cover of 'For the Dancing and the Dreaming' from How to Train your Dragon 2!
I've been extremely busy shipping out my Celtic album to everyone that kindly bought a copy - it's just me doing the mailing, so it's going a lot slower than I would like! I won't have much time for music until it's all done, but I managed to get out this little cover. I've been working on it off and on ever since the movie came out in my town :D
My husband shot the video, and I had to drag him out to the beach for two sweltering 90° F days to get it done. heh. :3 I made the dress!
Instruments used: kantele, soprano ocarina, baroque guitar, alto recorder, and my fave tambourine

My vocal rendition of Metroid Prime's credits theme :)
This was a challenge! I had a blast writing the lyrics. I wrote them from a Chozo oracle's point of view and tried to work in as much lore as I could.
It was a request from one of my kickstarter backers, August!
My voice is still extremely temperamental and has recently taken a turn for the worst - I have an appointment to have my vocal cords looked at this week. I managed to finish this cover, but I don't entirely like how I sound in places. Hopefully it's just some recurrent laryngitis.
The video was shot solely by my husband (with help from me). We're both beginners at this! But, we learn so much with each video we shoot. This time we did a shoot at night which was very difficult! :O We also borrowed a lot for this video! (lights!) (parent's lawn!) (cape!)
The Chozo costume was really fun to put together as well. I got the mask from a lovely lady on Etsy (MiesmesaBerni) and I will treasure it forever @_@
The mind's eye wakes, it is the dawn
An end to peace, an end to song
And unawares, amidst the quakes
The future comes, the mind's eye wakes
Send our hopes into space
The blood of our race
The bravest and wisest
Peril divides us
Left with no choice
The oracle's voice cries
Chaos is nigh
Beautiful world
Shining as we fall to its endless rage
Blood and teeth closing in
Time's running out
Life flutters beneath my dying hands
A perfect being
A purpose to our sacrifice
Go forth into the night
Oh creature of might
Of terrible power
Those you devour
Shall tread no more
The chaos of war must
Fade into dreams
I see a room of glass crushed underneath the earth
A floating city forgotten in the sky
And ghosts that kill unseen
With faces so familiar to me
Flows from the darkness
To home it des
Happy Halloween everyone! :D Be safe!
Been meaning to record this song for a while now! Lots of requests for this one! It was gentle on my voice too, which is a plus with it being so cranky lately.
The video wouldn't upload correctly for the longest time, it was actually done this morning...
Thanks for listening, guys!
