Elysian Moon is a live-electronic dance music duo—a dance between violinist and pianist, blending gypsy, organic, and sparkly techno influences into a fluid, dynamic sound. The project began with their debut track, Seraphic Heart, in 2024, marking a commitment to prioritize the music first, no matter what—opening doorways of opportunities that the duo attributes to magic. 
Composed of a world-class audio engineer and violinist, aka Tropo, and Grace Jiia, a former data scientist turned virtuoso pianist and cellist, Elysian Moon composes original music that moves through neoclassical landscapes, global house beats, and cinematic folkloric rhythms. Their performances are an artistic display—capturing their creative synergy, illuminating the intricacies of culture and nature, and unfolding into a deeply immersive, ritualistic experience that invites listeners into a connective atmosphere and intimate journey

A few years ago, Talisman became inspired by the work of the Legendary Gabrielle Roth, who was an American dancer and musician in the world
