Music Style Smooth Jazz, Electronic, Ambient mood music

Artist History Rayna has been composing music for a long time. Her ideal method of composition is to be in the right "mood" and then just sit down at the piano and let the music out. She calls her peices chronologies when they come in order from brain to fingers to piano to recording equipment without a lot of left-brained fussing around.

Group Members Rayna Jenks, and her tropical fish.

Press Reviews Rayna's music is deeply emotional, with a sometimes eerie mix of mathematical and fugal complexity and dark simplicity. The speed at which she is able to compose and improvise is very impressive. ---Mark West, Musical Momentus
