I've always been a thinker. And after this recording 'happened', I couldn't stop thinking for many days.. I still have more and more thoughts coming my way.. About life, about music, about finding your style, about finding your place on Earth.. It's a bit of a read but, if you're interested to know a little more, feel free to read on... xox

This track is very different from what you normally hear.... except it feels like home to me. it's my 18-min musical cosmos. It's just the vocals (incl. live looping), piano & male chanting by Al Kelly and various sound effects Chris Topher.. - all recorded live, one take only. ..
I was lost for words when I first heard it back. Then I couldn't stop listening. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. .. Then I cried.

It isn't a song. It's a piece of music. It's a piece of me. For the first time I am recorded there live, just as I am, as a human and as a musician/vocalist, very naked, vulnerable, showing how I wander in music naturally, how I levitate, how I become music... another sonic dimension of myself...

The piece is far from perfect but this is what I love about it. It was in no way pre-produced... It follows no conservative rules, no formats, no usual expectations of the masses.. It lets go of everything. It's about following your heart. That's why I think it's so precious to me. It's natural. It's about freedom. You start somewhere and then you let yourself immerse in the sound, you're taken somewhere... You don't know where you will end up. That's why it's so real. It's about the flow. ... I feel this is the first recording I truly lose myself into. I also think the recording actually enables the listener to walk with me.. through the soundscape. For the first time.

That's how I have been all my life. How I am before I even start to think what format I/my music should be. It's just the first time it's been recorded in its natural, organic form-less form.
It's who I am musically...

Hope you enjoy it. Hope you find it original. 
Hope the music takes you somewhere....

************I would recommend listening to the track with headphones on. So I sing straight into your ears. So the air isn't between you and me. So we are as close as possible. In the middle of the night. Eyes closed. Just like a soundbath... In that way, I truly believe we can walk together.. You'll be in my world of sound.

Thank you all for listening.
Love, yours

my names A, your names Zed (el-F#)

El Grey is an act that can give you goose bumps and can put you into a dreamy mood.  Compared to Massive Attack, Bjork or London Grammar fused together, she is a unique alternative mix of dream rock, acoustic minimalism, electronica, trip-hop, ambient and jazz.  Active since the end of 2011, El Grey is gradually revealing her ‘self’ more and more..
