Constance Demby is known as a musician who gives voice to spaceships and stargates, but on SPIRIT TRANCE, she returns to earth with a grounded and deeply felt collection of film music and rare re-mixes.
After being nominated for the New Age Grammy with NOVUS MAGNIFICAT, Demby became known for her celestial harmonies and her ability to turn sound effects into real, evocative music.
Her talent for giving life to unique sounds is evident on the albums stand-out track, "Ocean of Life", where underwater echoes convey the enormity of the sea, while short, high notes vibrate like schools of fish moving though the dark.
"Legend" is a grand, sweeping piece that was written for an unreleased film about James Dean.
On this track, Demby gives a sonic portrait with all the pathos you would expect from a 500-page tome on the actor.
The earthbound tone of this album may surprise some of her fans, but careful listening reveals the artist's signature style.
Symphonic and spiritual, TRANCE speaks to the soul and transports the listener to new realms without leaving the planet.
