Album US 2002 on OmTown label
Electronic and Classical (House, Modern, Downtempo, Contemporary, Romantic)
This collection of songs was inspired by the story of Ishtar - the Sumerian Goddess who descended from heaven to the underworld. The Myth of Red tells a story of a woman who has grown restless with her pedestrian life. She was lured down by the dark charms of the Incubus, the infernal lord. She succumbs to the seduction and is lost in his terrifying embrace. Annihilated and left for dead, she is awakened by the plaintive cry of her earthly love. Only after struggling to find her way out of the dark, does she emerge and recognize for the first time the true beauty of light.
