(eWebWire.com) June 03, 2010 — WORLD WIDE WEB, June 03, 2010 (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) — The Moon Whispers

Elyssa, aka The Moon Whispers, started playing guitar at 16 years of age but didn’t perform until she left Italy and moved to Scotland. Her music, at that time was Scottish ballads and English folk music. She began to write her own material and did solo performances (guitar and voice) under her name. After years of battling her personal demons, she began to collaborate with others to bring her image, technique and performance to the next level. After creating and dissolving a band who didn’t meet her expectations, she began to play as a guest musician with other artist. She would take those performances and record them on her latest CD, “Pearl Of Blood”. She is learning recording software in order to mix, record on her own. This new CD is still in the recording process, however, there are songs release from this new CD that are now available for purchase.

One particular song, “All Along the Shadows”, which is from “Pearl of Blood”, is a dark song creating images and painful memories that she is unable to escape. She realizes that this personal war was lessons to be learned – one being the only love you can count on is love for ones’ self. This new CD is a conceptual understanding of ones own experiences – “and so they are her own “bloody pearls of wisdom”, states Elyssa. Sung in multiple languages, the second verse, which is sung in Italian, has a sadness to it. This, of course, with the use of the violin, creates that emotion of sorrow.

The Italian voice is much different that the American. As one hears the dialect along with the texture of one’s own voice creates a specific European sound unlike any other. Fuse all these aspects together and you have a profound sound with a profound artist who creates dynamic music with dynamic imagery. This is an international artist of the first degree.

Elyssa is currently working on an Italian CD since her return to Italy after living in New Zealand for 15 years. She has returned to her roots and embracing it with open arms. This journey that she’s on is a desire to not only understand her own being but to share what she’s learning along with way with her audiences around the world.
The Moon Whispers, as she is known by, has opened for the Handsome family in New Zealand. She has also played at the Wellington Folk Festival in 2008 which is also in New Zealand. She is planning to promote her new Italian songs by playing locally in Italy and also playing English songs at indie festivals next year.
