This third album by The Tunnel Singer flows into the ambient realm. Meditative, entrancing solo vocals recorded live in the "Cistern Chapel" without electronic processing. The natural 45-second long acoustic reverberation of the space creates an undulating soundscape, evoking images of sea creatures, swaying leaves and inner space.
"If you like atmospheric, haunting female vocals, you'll like this singer. The acoustic ambience is reminiscent of Anonymous 4's recordings, but the music is unstructured and improvisational."
Stunning

"Lee Ellen Shoemakers gift of ambiant singing is best heared rather than discribed. What she does with her voice and natural acoustic spaces transends nearly everything you are likely to encounter elsewhere. The sounds wash over you, in hauntingly beautiful waves."
Worthy of it's name

"I chose this CD to listen and inspire me when I gave birth to my baby this year - which incidently, was a waterbirth. The gorgeous, mystical sounds transported me to just the right mental place I needed to be to ride the waves of contractions naturally. I highly recommend this CD, not just to laboring mothers, but to anyone looking for meditative quality music to enrich their lives."
Profound beyond words - born into Forever

"To find words to describe the magic of this music is challenging, because no language can hold the beauty found here. No words can clearly touch the presence of this sound, the miracle of her voice, the sacredness of the music that evolves from nowhere and touches everything. While I have loved music since before I could walk it is rare to find music that moves me the way this does - melodic, haunting, profound... like Home. For me listening to this music is like attending church, a return to an inner sanctuary of Truth where I may remember, recharge and reconnect. She has managed to bring the energy of birthing to a perfected place and opens the way for us to be born into Forever beautifully. Remember. You are a miracle."
