Joanne Togati (Lead Vocals,Lyrics, Composition, Keys)  and Eric Lemberg(Guitar,Production, Composition, Harmony,Keys) first started plotting their musical career in 2010 when they came together to work on Joanne's original material.  They soon realized they had a knack for inspiring each other's creative sides and a new collective sound was born that was bleeding with pop infused melancholic angst.  With melodic vocals that soar and that have been compared to Siouxsie Sioux, and many tracks that feature psychedlic guitar at a DnB tempo, the Serpent and the Apple are uniting the elements of electronic with some mean guitar, highlighted by the sweet yet powerful voice of the lead singer.  The lyrics have a mythological bent provoking the listener to go beyond the mundane and break the routine.   Both members have vast musical backgrounds behind them. Joanne had been trained in musical theater, opera and jazz from the early age of ten, and Eric started playing guitar from around the same age and went on to master all the instruments one would find in a rock band,  as well as having the ability to play anything by ear on the spot.  They honed their sound and in 2011 put the band together.  Josh Pikulin (bass)  and Ray Belli (drums), both NYU graduates, gave the band their first legs in playing the local music scene in Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Steadily gaining new fans through local music festivals, famed NYC clubs and VFW Halls, they continue to hone their sound and their craftmanship.  They self financed their first EP, Heartless to the Cruel and have gained the attention of artistic directors who are helping them get to that next level all future rock stars aspire to.    


 

"Feralie’s music cannot be boxed in… the mesmerizing (and at times paralyzing) sound of this noise rock trio warrants a heavy-duty crate to contain its sheer explosiveness. Their debut EP, “All At Once,” arrived in 2016, with proceeds going to charity - an auspicious beginning to Feralie’s recording puzzle, where three EPs are projected to constitute a full album. The sequel, “Everything That’s Dark” (2018), boasts a production of somewhat denser nature, yet the distorted vocal delivery, inventive instrumental parts, and overall slick rhythmic counterpoint conceal song structures that, as a result, are destined to be savored upon repeated listening. In the age of spin, here’s at least one band to hold onto… and witness take even further flight!"

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, working musician; primarily I play paid gigs on guitar and keyboard.   

But I have always been a songwriter and composer at heart, and play all rhythm section instruments with the dedication to making quality music--the right riffs that both create interest and leave space, with integrity and focus, because that's where the magic happens. 

Grew up playing everything from Nirvana to Bach & Beethoven, and learning songwriting from my music teachers, my father, and friends.   

Always interested in working with talented, versatile, dedicated and serious songwriters and singers.  I can write/track for you, and have great connects for further mixing.
