Lycia - "Baltica"

Faery Voices and Marcome


From http://www.last.fm/music/Marcom%C3%A9
"New Age Music Artist and Singer Marcomé
Marcome (Mar-ko-may), a gifted Canadian singer, songwriter and musician, is not only an artist but also an achieved sound producer. Her music is airy, emotes transcendence. Blending lyrics with her unique wordless language ‘onomatopoeia’, her compositions create dialects which enhance the listening experience. Marcome blends world music rhythms, middle-eastern intonations and ambient ‘airiness’ then layers it with her sublime voice."

Originally,  I was trying to find info on "Faery Voices," a 'station' I found on my paganradio app.
So, I will just share some other links I found in this rabbit hole.
