Dark Muse is a one woman dream project offering sounds in haunting lush Ethereal Alchemy, minimal, improvised experimental, darkwave & dark ambient noise flow, coming to a dream near you..

Behind the name: Dark... obviously referring to other facets of life... contrast... light & dark... black/white... shadows & textures. Muse...because my muse speaks through me as I vocalize her sounds.... inspirations, lust, creativity, passion...

...somber tidings & the soundtrack to my haunted life...

Dark Muse has been creating sounds with voice, all her life & approaches vocals in sound with pure emotion & raw power of experimentation ... While using voice as an instrument, she able to manifest textures & layers of patterns with depth.

Dark Muse's true passion is music...
