Artist description Xele is the name of Sarah's music project rather than a professional pseudonym. The name, oddly enough, came from a dream. In this dream, she was walking in an unfamiliar town. Faintly, she heard music. This music was astoundingly beautiful and yet in no known form that she'd ever heard. It was, in a sense, PERFECT music, almost divine. Following the sound of it, she came to an empty nightclub with high ceilings and pale lighting. "Who IS this?" she asked the DJ, gesturing widely to the music filling the room. "Xele," the DJ replied. * Having woken from the dream, Sarah thought that Xele was probably as good a name for her music project as any, and it has stuck ever since. While the experience was just a dream, Sarah does still aspire to creating music as astoundingly beautiful as the Xele of her dreams.

Music Style Music ranges from slow, melodic electronic/guitar with melancholy, ethereal female vocals, to heavier techno-goth.

Artist History Sarah Matti has been composing songs herself for over seven years. It has only been in the past year and a half that she has created the songs of "Whole," her first CD. "Whole" was recorded on computer using current technology, with a professional-grade synthesizer from the Yamaha Motif series. Since "Whole's" recent Copyright approval from the Library by Congress Copyright Office, she began a second CD entitled "Serendipity." "Serendipity" is a continuation of the quality and mood of the previous songs, and yet shows growth from the first CD: Sarah's voice has gained further strenth and range through training, and she has become even more proficient as a musician since "Whole." "Serendipity" is available for download (selected songs) and purchase now. She is now well into creating her third CD, "Ascent," which is yet again more mature and complex than "Serendipity." "Ascent" is due out this summer (2004).

Group Members Vocalist/Keyboardist Sarah Matti is the sole songwriter/singer of the Xele music project.
