"SO COLD"; FILM AND DANCE INTERPRETATION BY KAREN CRESPO
Karen Crespo, film student, has created a beautiful artistic representation of one of moZaiKa's new songs "So Cold" using film and dance. So Cold is a song that mourns the existence fear and greed. This will be projected during The Clarendon Performance whilst we play the music.Me-Lee: vocals, piano, synths, loops programming, cello
Me-Lee is the main composer for moZaiKa. Bands such as Massive Attack, Lamb and Bjork are a common influence for their edgy electronica sounds combined with strong melodies all to create a textural mood which one can sink their ears into. Me-Lee also maintains her love for the piano classical composers particularly Chopin, Debussy and the 20th century australian composer Miriam Hyde. Combining these two very opposing forces of classical meeting electronica Me-Lee hopes to make moZaiKa an original sound which listeners can journey with and their aural senses being tantalised click here for more info on Me-Lee
Mare: acoustic violin, electric violin with effects, back ups, keyboard, guitar
Mare’s biggest love is violin, and her other big loves are art and horses. She has a unique and organic style that has some gypsy fire and passion, some bad-arse dirty edge, and a sense of freedom that comes from releasing the sound to gallop over the wild mountains. It is no accident that she is called “Mareâ€. In fact, she officially changed her surname to “Wildmare†because this aspect of the horse has been such an inspiration, and something she seeks to embody in her life. click here for more info on mAre
