mesmerising sensations
like dollhouses
near seas of endless whiteness

burning pebbles
and waving leaves
falling down, falling down within my being

reasoning with thoughts of loss
i count the days and the hours
i bring myself to hope again
that this castle could be ours

breezes blowing through the trees
conches on the sand
the cream colour of rest preserved

glossy oysters
an array of pearls
has prevailed, has prevailed through all the warfare

reasoning with thoughts of loss
i count the days and the hours
i bring myself to hope again
that this castle could be ours

W.A.I.T

A year ago, I was bedridden for months due to complications from an autoimmune connective tissue disorder I developed. During this time when I literally felt the life slipping out of me and my body shutting down, I composed this piece, feeling that soon I might reconnect with the distant stars. However, mostly thanks to the amazing support I got from my loved ones, I started to get better soon after. And here I am still... and here is this music piece. Allow me to take you on a small journey to the stellar plane.

Sidereal

I’ve always been fascinated by the desert…
I imagined that there’s something buried there;
Something that attracts sages and adventurers alike,
Hidden under the sand and the burning sun,
The wisdom of ancestors and aeons
A secret sacred word, a symbol...

"Weaving Dreams into Sounds"

Genres: electronica, idm, ambient, abstract, experimental, downtempo, trip hop, folktronica, dream pop, glitch

Lina Alexaki, aka Eliethel, creates a hybrid of electronic and organic sounds with intricate atmospheric textures, flanked by crackling percussive loops and layered with prominent yet ethereal melodic lines. She cites influences such as Björk, Sigur Rós, Imogen Heap, Trentemøller and Peter Gabriel, but the result of her tinkerings is something altogether different, fresh and original.

“Many creators of ambient music have a ‘space’ theme; I chose not to. My thematic and narrative palette concerns mostly with fantasy, dreams, fiction and inner worlds… Even when I compose music about distant stars”.
