Sora delves deeply into stories, both mythic and modern, that transcend time and place, boldly claiming the complexity of contradictory truths within the emotional landscapes that shape our own personal stories.

Light and dark, joy and sorrow, urban versus nature, birth/rebirth but also death, ancient and modern, Sora delicately balances it all to provide music that is at once ethereal and grounded. This evocative music fuses the poetry of the Celts, the global influence of World and the stunning melodiousness of Neo-Classical into music that defies the boundaries of traditional genre categorization. Listen and find your mythic self.
