About Me

"isunray" is about creating music that has meaning, feels tangible, and is most importantly homegrown. "isunray" seeks to develop organically (not just using loops and samples), always grooves and remains open to the true joy of music... collaborating and sharing with others.
"isunray" doesn't want to be labelled we let the songs tell us which direction they'd like to go so don't be surprised if there's electro, house, blues, soul, r&b, synth pop and jazz to be found here. It's the song and that's all that really matters.
"isunray" also features the lovely and immensely talented jade eru ( jade eru ).
This little site will be the main "isunray" outlet to the world for now. So come back often, there will be regular tracks being uploaded for your listening pleasure.
If you want more "isunray" (bless you) check out ( soundclick ) and ( mp3.com.au ).
"Icebergs Off The Coast" due to popular demand is now available at ( amplifier.co.nz ).
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to drop us a comment or message.
Keep watching this myspace for more isunray electronic/a pop styles!!
Note: If you are kind enough to accept a friend request from "isunray" and you'd like us to drop on your page please leave us a comment (or message) so we can return in kind.
