About Me

Heather aka "The Raving Lyre" started writing poetry and songs at the age of 9. Another project, The Lyre Effect, features her spoken word poetry set to the music of British producer Stuart Armitages' musical and electronic compositions: www.myspace.com/thelyreeffect, www.lyreeffect.com, www.indiestore.com/thelyreeffect

After a lapse in her lifeline, the desire to write music came back stronger than before, and in 2007, once again she decided to write songs. Heather taught herself to play the guitar, after receiving an acoustic guitar her mother bought in the 1960's. Erik Peterson arranged "Fake" and they co-wrote and recorded "Wishmaker" in the summer of 2007. Soon after, Keith McGregor produced Conduit 1 at his studio in the Twin Cities, and UK composer Very Little Effort remixed "Fake" in the fall of 2007. This is a revival for Heather of a musical journey that began over 17 years ago.
