Glad to send out into the world my organic house / downtempo remix of music from the original Wicker Man film, about pagan rituals on a remote Scottish island and the offerings made at the burning of the wicker man. I've been into this film for as long as I can remember and always wanted to make an electronic interpretation of 'Willow’s Song' from the Britt Ekland scene - like an ode to the natural forces awakened in the policeman as he comes to terms with the island's practices... please enjoy 🙏🏻💫

FRED the ALIEN Productions is a popular culture-centric art collective, where members explore their creativity and express themselves through podcasts, YouTube videos, and Melbourne stage shows.

Michaela’s dramatic and haunting cinematic folk music has emerged from years of songwriting, theatre work, and perfecting her sound as a session singer and pianist. She has released an EP Ripe Fruit and the concept album DARK NATURE, from which ‘The Rose’ music video has won:

Best in Creative AI - Australian XR Festival Awards 2023
Best Horror Music Video - Tabloid Witch Awards
Best Film (Experimental) - Canberra Short Film Festival
Best Animation - Experimental, Dance & Music Film Festival 2023

Michaela has released albums with art-pop band Theghostorchestra, she was the main vocalist on the feature film Slipstream and once taught Gina McKee to play the piano for BBC drama Mothertime.

Born in Antwerp, and raised in a rambling house in Yorkshire, Michaela was the daughter of travelling folk musicians. Her father David F Betts was a singer/songwriter and TV composer while her Swedish mother’s stepdad was the writer Bengt Nerman, and his father the journalist Ture Nerman, a famous Swedish socialist who met Lenin in 1917. 

The isolation and freedom of living in the middle of nowhere shaped Michaela and her writing growing up. The harshness and beauty of nature, and resisting but needing change, are recurring themes. In 2020 she took up Transcendental Meditation which had a huge impact on her state of mind and outlook.

Michaela lives with her partner and children in a rented farm workers cottage in Surrey. She records in a converted shipping container in the garden. ‘The house is small, so the container was brought down from Norfolk on a truck, and hoisted over the fence,’ she says. ‘My partner kitted it out with a live room and recording studio. We’re not the kind of people to have extravagant holidays, instead we spend what money we have on studio gear!’

I live with the bears in the mountains. I like to creatively press buttons and click on things.
