About Me

Serendipity Musik is the umbrella which protects Serena's records from the rain and also is the vase which holds her song-flowers...Serena has worked as a touring cellist with Amy Denio, Eyvind Kang, múm and most recently, Rasputina. She is mostly a composer and a cellist but is also many other things including a filmmaker, painter, mother and poet. She studied cello with the late David Tonkonogui. She was mentored on electric guitar by Amedeo Pace and Johnny Marr. She used to be a well-known busker. Many people discovered her this way, and one time Bono listened to her play (he tipped her $100 and a bottle of wine.)She was born in Forks, WA and grew up in the Hoh rainforest between Forks and LaPush. She has played on both coasts of America, HongKong, France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Iceland, London, Sweden, Norway and has made many friends in Japan. She wishes next to play in Canada, Australia, Patagonia, India, Africa and Russia.She also plays the piano, guitar, harp, melodica and sings sometimes.She takes photos sometimes but prefers painting pictures...She has already met many interesting people but would also like to meet some new ones...(pssst....You can find her music here, but if you are looking for Serena she goes by the name of Serendipity Lemonseed on myspace.)

Sounds Like: Situationists from Paris came to the forest of the Olympic Peninsula after the furor of May '68, to hide out, study, pontificate, make babies, go fishing, become real in the rich poverty of that place.We are the grandchild of May 68: Serendipity Musik, the music of random chance mixed with the soul of nature.We love the Slits and múm but we sound nothing like them. We are a concoction of Gypsies and thieves who steal only from the rich, and give to the poor. We are the sound of the trees and the wind come to life. We live with the rich poverty of the underground. We are the sound of the silent ecstacy of the universe you can only hear while in tune. We are simultaneously seductive and offensive to the bourgeoisie. We are the sound of the Ghost Dance risen once again. We are the sound of the sidewalk in the city, pounded by many walking feet of people and buffalo and the gentle patter of rain. We are the collected sounds of many parallel universes come into one womb.We have no tomorrow or yesterday, we go only sideways...Words might be pretentious but the music is real and it goes out into space forever, whether you will catch it in your ear... ?
