Artist History Hana is a collaboration between renowned sound sculptor Jeff Greinke and soaring vocalist Anisa Romero. Jeff and Anisa began their project in the summer of 1997, after Anisa had been invited to sing and perform in an unusual multimedia piece involving Andalusian horses, Spanish dancers, elaborate costuming, flamenco music, and extravagant sets. Jeff was brought on to apply his unique multilayering sensibility in order to manipulate and enhance Anisa's vocalizations, and to create ethereal backdrops for Anisa to work within. It became apparent early on that Jeff and Anisa were on to something unique worth exploring. The result was their first CD Hana, a collection of spacious, moody, ambient dreamworks. They have since become popular for their dynamic and engaging performances and recently completed their second album. Omen displays a more rhythmically rich song-oriented approach, while maintaining their characteristic evocative, lush, and dreamy sound.

OUTBURN"Haunting vocalizations mesh beautifully with Greinke's spectral sonic impressions." NEW AGE VOICE"A swirling pool of sound and influences like vapor reaching for the heavens." CARPE NOCTEM"Romero has a wrought, haunting voice?soaring, keening, and emoting in sinc with the convincing, almost tangible otherness of Greinke's music." THE ROCKET
