Influences: The Moon and the Fire Circle is a journey... a journey from the light to the dark and back to the light again. But of course there is always a twist, who is telling us which is light and which is dark? From who's point of view are we looking? All these elements, dark and light, are combined and fused together to create a complete Self.
Some of my musical loves include Depeche Mode, The Cure, Tori Amos, Björk, Sarah McLachlan, Sinéad O'Connor, Imogen Heap, Alice Marie, David Gray, U2, Speakertone, Loreena McKennitt, Celtic and other native instrumental and classical music. Art plays a big part of the music as well, Georgia O'Keeffe melting into Vincent van Gogh, Théo van Rysselberghe, Norbert Goeneutte and Claude Monet. Many books weave in and out of the music as well... but that list could get quite long...Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider

New Reviews for The Moon and the Fire Circle
"One Word. It starts with an ’A’. Awesome. This CD is absolutely awesome. Eerie at times, ecstatic at others. The lyrics tell a story that twists and turns through the brightest of melodic lights to the darkest lyrical corners, and then, just like that, it compels you back into the light. The musical highlights are cryptic and almost chilling piano pieces. Sometimes when I listen to a project that is so personal and creative for the artist, I feel like an intruder. I turn the volume down and cautiously look at the liner notes. That was not the case with this CD. I felt invited - no - I would say it was more like I was drawn to the music and words. I want that, I want the creativity and inner voices that can twist and turn my own reality and give me freedom to think, create and change. That is what I love about music; that is what I want in music. And that is what the Moon and the Fire circle is about." - Chel, Spinnaker and Lena
"The first thing that strikes you is Shauna Burns’ abilities to play the piano. Her chords struck, strike another found within. Music is a force that can speak to emotions and souls, moving past the first contact of the brain. Shauna Burns has spent untold time at the keyboards to make the instrument a conduit of her rather than her a master of the instrument. This is where you separate the prodigies from the technically brilliant. On her album, the Moon and the Fire Circle, she creates 14 songs that are extensions of her." - Matt Rowe, Music Tap
"Her brilliant piano playing on tunes like "Tumbleweed" and the softness of "Magic" prove that she destined for stardom. Her soft voice floats with the music like clouds in a perfect blue sky. I highly recommend this album for all music lovers." - Celebrity Cafe
"Listeners will immediately identify growth in Shauna’s material in the instrumental arrangements. The recording quality is so accurate in these songs that careful listeners will hear the pedals of the piano. Additional strings, electric guitar, bass and percussion round out the tunes. Listeners will note layered vocal harmonies on the new record and Shauna’s singing is more expressive, lilting gently, continuing to draw allusions to Celtic artists. This stunning collection is a thoughtful deviation from her prior work that demonstrates artistic growth and attention to details that will bring her new fans worldwide." - Musical Discoveries
"A cross between Tori Amos and Evanescence with vividly descriptive lyrics and haunting melodies. Great piano accompaniment and appropriately subdued vocals." - PopCulture Guy
"Ethereal. Not a common word in my vocabulary, but that’s where the music takes me. Delicate, floating on another world. Subsequent hearings start to bring out the language and allow me to hear the story with more clarity as I float higher and higher." - Eartaste
