One of the most intriguing myths of all, is that of the most beautiful woman of the Ancient World. Her beauty was impossible to describe with words, and was tragically destined to spark the Trojan War. Helen of Troy may have been extraordinarily beautiful, but beware; there is more to her story than that which meets the eye.

Siren Songs

Helen of Troy

Compelled by their ambition to rediscover the archaic worlds and their contribution to civilisation, likewise by utilising an unusual combination of instruments, Elusive Aura is becoming a medium of climactic exploration. The lyricism of female voice, the expressiveness of cello and the nuanced tone of concert guitar are employed to give life to the drama, mystery and passion of the ancient myths, sculpting a sound that dances between contemporary, classical and folk.
