Demo Recordings

I heard some of Mary's things on Myspace and said Wow!

Mary's treatment of voice is awesome. It's shamanic, paganic in the same time treated as instrument , very complex, very beautiful instrument from Alignment to the end but especially in Moonstone. But don't forget to listen "music" which follows voice in Moonstone. It's dance. It's sound of dance. Almost without instruments. Uber cool.

Saltskin continues in same magic ambient where every component perfectly fits in sound so big that reminds me to my first encounter with Lourie Anderson's "Big Science" album. There is not much similarities between the two except that Mary Cross definitely has ZING. Very artistic feeling for things and originality. And no I am not overreacting.

Paper Crane is thing I remember from Myspace or it's very similar to it. I am sucker for feelings in ambient and this one is very looaded with it - again through game of voice and minimal instrumentation which follows it.

Big bow on this mademme

we seem always on the brink of an abyss, undecided whether to drop or go back, back to a life that escapes through our fingers like sand, the sounds are at times. sounds are sometimes more real than reality, as these sounds. a secret ... thanks.

Me gusta la ambientacion creada sobre todo en alignment

Somewhat minimalistic - experimental - an ethereal voice - cool and clear - like spring water, where the sunshine sparkles and the butterfly glides - like that voice - telling her dream, like a poem, like a song.
Mary Cross paints poetry like brain waves for us to see through our ears.
Left me wanting more.

to this divine lady, with a beautiful voice who knows how to play with sounds to create melodies and an atmopshere of her own so beautiful, peaceful, strongly secured to earth, though it lifts you above reality, though it excavates your deeper feelings that makes you even more real.

Beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing.
