Artist History Dreams are my main influence in sound... I have been singing all my life. In the year 2000, the project 'Dark Muse' came to light. I love to use my voice as an instrument, I create sounds that are dissonant and repetitive so that I can sing all around them. Music, and especially singing... Make me feel more alive than any other medium of self expression. Some may find that I do not have normal structures for songs... The pieces are what they are... created in the moment, retelling the emotions of my lifes experiences... they are long journeys to flow into.... Take it or leave it.

Press Reviews ***Reviews for 'Sounds from beyond the Silver Wheel' recent cd release through the Fossil Dungeon:*** __________________________________________________ ***"Haunting and dreamy feminine ambient. An elegant evening background."- Mistress McCutchan (morbid Outlook)*** __________________________________________________ ***"Surprisingly strong effort from this solo female artist, creating ethereal, shadowy atmospheres using a variety of sources; voice (primary instrumentation), Russian string piano, bells, coils, bowed cymbal, drum machine, and a variety of other items. All together spooky at times, drawing a slight comparison to Aghast, but nowhere near as lo-fi, and with a lusher, warmer production and more structural, song oriented elements (a la something out of Projekt). Still, the mood is somberÉ at times beautiful, other times oppressively dark and claustrophobic, the reverb tones floating like apparitions down a darkened corridor. A must for goths, but should certainly find appeal to a broader audience. Nice digipak as well." - MalignantRecords.com*** __________________________________________________ ***'remembering'... (cd review) ~ "Dark Muse is the musical outpouring of Phyll, a maker of very careful and intricate jewelry. Self-proclaimed "haunting lush ethereal, dark ambient, experimental noise flow" is quite accurate, emphasizing ethereal. Music and jewelry are treated as partners of her gothic style. Phyll's layer voices are laced with more reverberated voices; the opening track "Backward World" of *remembering...* doesn't seem to incorporate any other instruments, but you never realize that unless you careful sort the tracks out to discover they're all her slow steady voice. "the city at night" consists of noises and plunking slowed down for an eerie 'peering out the window of a dark room' kind of feel; everything is dark and damp. Most of the rest of the tracks, like "Inner Wavelength", "Bar Code (revisited)", and the title track, utilize droning synth-like sounds and other looped noises with vocals distant and reverberated in the background. The album is slow, hypnotic, and uneventful. Fans of slow ambience and reverberated female vocals will appreciate this release. Eerie squeaks at the beginning of the closing track "Metal Leaves" was one of my favorite parts of the CD. A variety of tracks from different recordings are available from her mp3 site." - ~reviewed by Michael Otley (StarVox)***
