Artist description Whilst Beltane's music often focus's and explores sensitive, yielding aspects of human nature, the dynamic energy is derived through embracing and defining the close relationship between various polarities. The light and dark aspects are inextricably entwined, placing delicate vocals and gentle synth melody, within a less forgiving,disconcerting environment. The diversity of textures, rhythms and atmosphere, exceed any specific genre and the music incorporates various elements of Gothic, Industrial, Ambient Electronic, World Dance, and New Age styles.
